Mullvad is currently highly trusted by the community. If you lost your trust in proton I recommend switching back to it.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Huge fan of Mullvad for the work around respecting users privacy. They are implementing ways of skewing AI-guided traffic analysis. VPN encrypts your data but companies are starting to use AI to look at traffic patterns and help determine what that data is. I won't pretend to understand it completely so I'd recommend reading their blog about it.
I've been eyeing PIA for it's price and the inclusion of port forwarding but not sure if anyone has experience with PIA.
IMHO Mullvad
Mullvad only!!!
Mullvad/IVPN for their pay with cash policies
Use Mullvad, unless you absolutely require port forwarding.
Proton has port forwarding? Source?
God damn that's complicated compared to PIA
Pia is owned by very sketchy Kape Technologies, just FYI.
I dont know why that has you doing so much, I use port forwarding with proton vpn and all I did was press a button in the proton vpn app and it was on.
That's the manual setup for use cases like on a server or whatever (a common place where you would need port forwarding)
