NordVPN
Mullvad
Mullvad is a better VPN service than NordVPN, but the latter has a few distinct advantages. Namely, it delivers slightly faster download speeds and has servers in more countries, and you can connect with up to 10 devices simultaneously, compared to five for Mullvad. Unfortunately, however, Nord's kill switch doesn't function effectively, as it leaks some data outside of the tunnel after a system reboot. Mullvad is also better for privacy. You can sign up anonymously, and the company has a history of good privacy and transparent company practices. On the other hand, Nord's privacy policy vaguely indicates that it collects your data in certain circumstances, and the company doesn't have ideal transparent practices.
