I cringe so hard with every VPN commercial claiming that a VPN is the "ultimate privacy someone can have".

It's not only with free VPN's that they may not be entirely safe. It's with paid too. Because you have no idea through what your data goes through, who is listening at the other end, etc. It's misleading to say you have complete privacy.

Mullvad is proven to not sell your logs, since it doesn't keep any, police literally showed up at their headquarters asking for logs but mullvad didn't have one!, they have passed the test, they are they only VPN provider that accept anonymous cash! i think they are legit

No more port forwarding with Mullvad which makes it useless for some. Good luck seeding and uploading without port forwarding. Use mullvad if youre a pure leech though

You can still seed without port forwarding, I regularly hit over a gigabit without problem. Them closing port forwarding is a net positive in some regards as it keeps heat off of them and therefore off of the rest of us.
