I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

I use mine exclusively for torrents, so I don't really care what is happening on the other end as long as they are masking my IP address. If you were using it for general browsing I could see that mattering more. But it's really hard to beat the speeds + port forwarding for $2.22/mo ($80 for 3 years). That's less than half the price of any comparable alternatives.
