"To give you a preview, Mullvad is one of the few VPNs - other than my normal privacy recommendation, Proton VPN - that lets users pay entirely in cash. But even Proton VPN asks for an email address to make an account and uses a few marketing cookies on its own website. Mullvad represents every account as a randomly generated 16-digit code and uses no marketing cookies whatsoever."
"But while privacy is the most important aspect of a VPN alongside security, it's not the only thing that matters. For this review, I set out to investigate whether Mullvad pairs its rights-protecting bonafides with versatile, convenient and enjoyable VPN apps. Using our rigorous VPN testing procedure, I'll rate Mullvad in 11 areas. You can find a summary of my results in the table below, skip to the sections that matter most to you or just read my final advice in the conclusion."
Mullvad is a privacy-focused VPN that minimizes user data by representing accounts as randomly generated 16-digit codes and permitting anonymous cash payments. The service uses no marketing cookies and enforces strong technical protections including WireGuard-only connections, no IP address leaks during server switches, and successful packet encryption in tests. The privacy policy contains specific limits on data retention, storing only account numbers and expiration dates. App usability, versatility, and enjoyment were evaluated across 11 testing areas to determine whether the privacy-first design pairs with convenient, secure, and functional applications.
