Weird. I’ve never had an issue with their reliability. I have only ever used the Netherlands or US servers though

Mullvad is arguably the best VPN provider for security and anonymity.

Unfortunately, they stopped offering port forwarding a few years ago because people were hosting some awful stuff and causing their servers to be confiscated by authorities. Their reasoning for it was sound - servers being disconnected meant it was disrupting other users on that server as well.

They refunded everyone for their remaining time (if requested) after removing port forwarding.

AirVPN user for the past few years. No complaints except their website user interface.
