They were rated highly among my options when I was choosing various services last year, and I ended up not picking them because it felt like they really want to be Google, and that at any moment they will pull the rug out from under their customers in a “remove ‘Don’t be evil’ from the charter” move. These stories seem to suggest I was right.
And then the co-owner of the VPN I chose funded far right politics in Germany. Whoops.
That is not good advice. Most VPN companies are not security or privacy companies. In fact, most appear to be surveillance capitalism companies who should never be trusted, and are likely to be worse than no VPN at all.

I mean, they’re all WireGuard. ProtonVPN is WireGuard. Mulvad VPN – what I assume you’re referencing — is WireGuard.
If you don’t like a given WireGuard VPN provider, then just switch to some other VPN provider that supports WireGuard and use that service instead.
