Honestly it's hard to tell, but Mullvard seems to be one of the last options.

The problem I have with all the "checks" that press foundations do is that none of them seem to know what they're talking about in regards to what tech is trustworthy and audited, and what is not.

I found a nice article about it, skimmed through it and seems to be true and reflect my own research that I did for my cyber defense network [1]

If I was a TLA, I'd be spinning up one fake VPN company a month. I've never understood why anyone trusts them.

Very funny, I get a popup selling NordVPN several times while on that site (using adblocker). Article written by the owner of another VPN company.
