Mullvad VPN Review

Mullvad is a privacy-focused VPN that does things differently: it uses numbered accounts (no email required), offers a flat monthly price, and publishes unusually direct “what we do/don’t log” documentation.

Pricing: Mullvad lists a flat €5/month price and states it doesn’t run sales. It also notes a 10% discount for cryptocurrency payments (due to lower fees).

Devices: Mullvad enforces up to Verify current device limit.

Refunds: Mullvad’s refund policy has important exceptions: it offers a 14‑day money-back guarantee for some payment methods, but states it does not issue refunds for cash or cryptocurrency payments.

Audits: Mullvad has published blog posts linking to Cure53 app and infrastructure audits.
