Overview
Mullvad is the gold standard for VPN anonymity. You don't create an account — you receive a random number. You can pay in cash or Monero. The company has never stored user logs, and when Swedish authorities attempted to seize their servers, there was nothing to find. For users who want maximum anonymity above all else, Mullvad is unmatched.
