But let’s see how well Mullvad does with more formal testing. Mullvad worked very well for me and that’s why I decided to remain a customer. I now use both and I enjoy having a backup VPN provider. Mullvad worked so well that I decided to renew my membership, and have ever since. I wanted to see if my setup would work using a different provider. I tried Mullvad a while back when I was having issues getting WireGuard to work with my day-to-day VPN provider.

Alas, there are no discounts if you pay for more than one month at once. It also takes Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, its own Mullvad coupons, wire transfers and the Swedish mobile-payment service Swish.Īfter a three-hour trial period, Mullvad service costs 5 euros, or about $5.50, per month. Mullvad does accept credit cards and PayPal, for which you do have to provide personal information. Just mail the money to Mullvad's post-office box in Gothenburg, Sweden and include your account number on a piece of paper.

You can pay for its service in cold, hard cash (bills only, please) "in any valid currency". The company never needs to know your name, email address or other personal information. (You can even sign up for Mullvad service via the Tor anonymizing protocol (opens in new tab).) The account number logs you into the service. Instead, the Mullvad servers spit out a randomly generated 16-digit account number when you sign up.
