I was researching VPNs for a long time before choosing a company and my main factor was speed. Big companies Nord, Surfshark, etc... Mullvad was the last company I tried because they did not offer a refund for crypto purchases. I have 2Gbps FTTH and wanted to get as close to that as I could with the understanding of congestion, and protocol overhead.

Mullvad beat every provider I tried and offers great features. I really like that they are making privacy moves even before they are needed such as quantum protection and DAITA.
TLDR; I saved the best for last and it was Mullvad.
Only thing I would want to see in the future is being able to pay with additional coin types. Not everyone wants or needs to be exposed to a volatile coin market.
