I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

Seems like Mulvad gets a lot of love on here and reddit. Being able to pay anonymously is pretty cool. I use Windscribe and like it a lot. They have an annual sale that is dirt cheap. PIA used to get a lot of love until they were bought out a few years back.

I hated the 5 device limits of Mullvad. Especially because you could not logout other devices from the app (until recently) but you had to login into web to do it. I was coming from nordvpn where they simply logged out the device that was connected for the longest time. I'm also looking into alternatives and since cost is not really a blocking point I was thinking to go with IVPN

If you are willing to pay a bit more, I highly recommend IVPN. Stay away from PIA, they are no longer trustworthy. AirVPN is also good, and Proton is good now as well.

Ive been using Ipvanish for a few years now, no issues. No logs either assuming they are an honest company.

I've really enjoyed Torguard so far, althought I switched very recently.

If you decide to use Torguard, USE AN AFFILIATE CODE FOR 50% OFF. I used Tom Spark's (YouTubers) code, but Torguard makes it really easy for any creator to generate a code so use whoever's you'd like to support.

EDIT: It has a linux gui, which oddly must be run at root. I added a line to create an exception for only my user to be allowed to run /usr/bin/torguard as root without a password in /etc/sudoers, and it works as expected.

Proton’s good but they seem to neglect Linux a lot. Command line version is okay but missing split tunneling so I’m seriously thinking about flicking it for something else.

I thought about proton, for about $12/month you get premium access to all proton services, like mail and drive. not a bad deal if you like the ecosystem, but no linux GUI is a pretty big -1 for me.

The official linux cli is pretty garbage, but the community one written in python is really really good.

I've enjoyed MozillaVPN because it's made by Mozilla.

And, honestly, not really any other reason, i just trust the company that makes it over the others. In fact, it has a significant downside in that it doesn't have an app kill switch like NordVPN, so your torrent app can keep running unprotected.
