And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I'm trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It's mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

My assumption is that Mullvad allowing port forwarding previously forced a large number of their IPs to be blocked due to misuse and that's having carryover effects. I know very little about Mullvad or the IP address market though.

    It isn't just Mullvad. I'm sure it is also AirVPN and I presume that it includes all of the popular ones. I doubt port forwarding has anything to do with it.
