Hi! So I have had surfshark for a while and been generally quite satisfied. They do everything I need them to do this far with no fuss and bundle in some handy other services as well.

My annual plan expires in a couple of months and I’m curious what else is out there, as I only started SF because it was heavily discounted at the time. From a new provider, I just need privacy, the ability to torrent totally public domain content, and a static IP. Do you have any suggestions for other options worth considering? I just like to have options. Thanks in advance!

Mullvad before port forwarding, ProtonVPN once Mullvad got rid of it

I made the same move. Mullvad is still fantastic but Proton is also fantastic and works just as well for my purposes.

I had just paid for yearly service on Mullvad, then port forwarding got removed a month later… so I’m just letting the payment lapse then I’ll just stick to ProtonVPN full time.
