Mullvad has operated public encrypted DNS (DoH) servers since 2022. They are unnecessary when using Mullvad VPN — traffic is already encrypted and Mullvad VPN's internal DNS handles all queries.
If you already use Proton Mail, I strongly recommend against using ProtonVPN because you’re coupling yourself too hard to Proton. At least, if your threat model is high risk
If you just use VPNs to torrent stuff, then that’s fine. I’m just saying that if your threat model makes you a target to let’s just say the CCP for example, then coupling Proton’s suite with their VPN is a bad idea
I’ve just seen this.
Do you know any good alternatives?
Tunnel bear
I moved to AirVPN after Mullvad shut down port forwarding and haven’t had any issues. It’s run by privacy activists.
Can second this
iVPN is the the best alternative if you want something as powerful as Mullvad. It’s a bit slower though
iVPN looks good
can confirm. is good.
ProtonVPN if you can stomach one CEO once praised trumps choice of some anti euh oligopol(?) lawyer.

What if I just torrent shit occasionally? Am I good? I like proton’s services a lot for the convenience which is a no no on here but I am a lazy fuck.

I don’t do anything that makes me a target so I’m all right
If I’m going to move away from mullvard because a high up funds populists I’d rather avoid that too.
