ProtonVPN or Mullvad? Why would you choose one over another? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don't use one.

I'd like to use Mullvad but they don't seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.

I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn't check if it's really the case).

If anyone has any other suggestion I'd like to hear it.

i too miss the alias service, and i dont really know an alternative aswell.

The issue is kinda, that any alias service is basically just forwarding your mails ... so it is really hard to trust anyone with that

and a private domain is not really a solution, for privacy

and like tuta does offer 15 or 30 (but 30 is super expensive) permanent aliases.. which is like nice but does fill up super quickly if used like how it is used for proton
