Seconded. It's Mullvad, tho, not Mulvad ;) I have been a customer since a while and cannot complain. They support wireguard, which is nice, and of course plain OpenVPN connections, but offer apps for various platforms too. They do not pay for reviews, which is nice (and quite telling that other do), they are own by to Swedish guys. Their price is a €5/month (for simultaneous 5 VPN connections, no data caps) and you can pay in cash* or bitcoin if you want.

And no, I am not paid or otherwise compensated to write this, or affiliated with them other then being a customer.

[*] They even say: "Please avoid writing your name or address on the envelope."

> bitcoin

Do they take any other cryptocurrencies, or would I have to convert some other coin into bitcoin to pay them?

OpenVPN is nice, since my OpenWRT router can be a client.

EDIT: I emailed Mullvad and received a reply within 15 minutes! and it answered my questions accurately! I think they win the customer service award for today :D

Bitcoin or bitcoin cash are accepted payment methods.

They have openvpn instructions for openwrt at https://mullvad.net/en/help/openwrt-routers-and-mullvad-vpn/

And their clients are open source: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app

(sorry for not replying earlier!)
