What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don't know if they are any good.

I've been looking at IVPN as well. Nym seems interesting but seems very new and idk if they offer Wireguard configuration files (I don't think they're even WG-based? I could be wrong)

I'm sitting on Mullvad for a week to do research into alternatives. Apparently their support team is handing out full refunds far outside their typical policy because of this shitshow, no questions asked. IVPN so far is looking promising, but I don't know a damn thing about the company and people behind it.

    I have purchased nym last week.

    1. I got the 1 year plan which came at a great price (price is really important for me atm)
    2. its apps arent as robust and good as mullvad, use more resources. But still do able.
    3. They dont offer config files
    4. It's speeds seems pretty promising. Better than mullvad
    5. It takes it a while to connect. Maybe up to 1m. While mullvad connected immediately.

    If mullvad wasn't expensive for me I'd stick with it.
