Mullvad VPN review: total anonymity for an affordable price

Mullvad is an open-source VPN solution with fixed prices that accepts untrackable payments and identifies you with just an account number.
Mullvad VPN costs 5 euros per month for use on up to five computers, phones, and tablets, that's the one and only subscription option.
You can pay with a credit card, PayPal, and wire transfer, but for greater anonymity, you can even transfer Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Monero, or mail paper currency to Mullvad.
Mullvad's design is clean and easy to navigate. However, it doesn't provide live chat and you can't resize the tiny app window to see more servers at once.
Split-tunneling allows you to specify trusted apps that can bypass the VPN. Content blockers for malware, trackers, ads, gambling, adult content, and social media are also provided.
Email support is the only option. However, Mullvad responds relatively quickly, and you can peruse the help center, containing search-able documentation, if you need some immediate help.
Since total anonymity is possible with Mullvad, this particular VPN is ideal for anyone who doesn't want to reveal their personal information, especially those under threat.
Mullvad VPN's speeds have been inconsistent in some cases. However, it is inexpensive and doesn't have hidden costs.
The VPN is reliable and an excellent privacy protection for anyone who's tired of chasing deals and just wants trouble-free security and privacy.
For those who need comprehensive privacy, Mullvad is the perfect solution, as it maintains anonymity entirely, which is especially important for those in oppressed countries.
