Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?

Is mullvad good? Are they no log?

Mullvad is the most private a VPN company can get. They literally accept cash by mail.

Mullvad is RAM only for a few months by now, no log since forever and regularly contributes to privacy related topics.

The thing is: you can't trust a company when they say they are no log or RAM only. But you can trust what info you give them. Mullvad only has my IPs. No info about who I am otherwise. I send them 30€ twice a year and that's it.

BUT: they don't allow port forwarding anymore, if you need that, so they are not perfect.

Very. They're probably the best out there. Fully anonymous payments, no log, ram disk servers, audited, I believe they're open source. I think some downsides they have that I've heard is no port forwarding and they don't have too many servers. However, they're still very good nonetheless.
