Count me among the very satisfied Mullvad users as well, please.
Choosing a VPN has always struck me as having a lot in common with dating: always a mysterious party on the other side of the interaction that needs sizing up, and all too often the things you think you need most from them end up having little impact on the final outcome. In that context, being a Mullvad user feels a lot like dating someone who's way out of your league: they barely notice I exist, never seem excited to see me yet never ignore me altogether, and no matter what we end up doing together they always end up blowing my expectations out of the water. To me that feels like the ideal relationship to have with any security provider you might need; those most worthy of trust tend not to invest much effort in soliciting it.
And yeah, the irony isn't lost on me that in this particular metaphor, my "hottie" is a pudgy, brown Swedish mole named Cookie who wears a hard hat and overalls wherever it goes. That's about par for the course for me in dating too, sadly.
