I am thinking about changing VPN, I am currently using ProtonVPN and I was thinking about changing to AirVPN (for its prices and port forwarding) or Mullvad (Everyone says it is better regarding privacy but I don’t know why).

Which one would you recommend and why? I have seen a lot of criticism towards AirVPN for being based in Italy, but if they don’t collect the data as they say they do, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?

    Mullvad is ditching OpenVPN. I don’t use Wireguard since it breaks my firewall rules. AirVPN is decent enough. I have used them for port forwarding before.

      OpenVPN is less secure than Wireguard though

      I don’t use wireguard because it breaks my firewall rules.

      How so?

        I use Comodo Firewall (on windows machines) to give access or deny access to various apps. I have a VPN only web browser and a web browser that only works when the VPN is off. Wireguard is not supported whereas OpenVPN is.
