Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I'm pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

How does Proton VPN compare to Mullvad? I've been using them for years and they really are anonymous. You don't even provide an email to create your account.

If you're satisfied with mullvad, i would stick to it. The main problem it runs into is that it doesn't support port forwarding which is an issue if you use torrents a lot. That's the main advantage that proton reserves.
