I used to go Mullvad but the lack of port forwarding was a big issue. I've been with ProtonVPN since and the IPs feel much cleaner (way less blocks) and their email service is also a big plus for me. Worth paying more imo
Same here. Mullvad's awful policy that essentially limits you to having their client installed on 5 machines was also a deal breaker for me. Sure I could have fucked around with managing keys/connections myself, but why bother? I emailed their support about how inconvenient it was, and they told me I was free to pound sand or pay them for another subscription to enjoy the convenience of having their client installed on more devices.
Proton has been great since I switched, and I see no reason to use Mullvad these days.
