However, it is even more transparent because it shows the country, city, the company operating the data center and whether Mullvad owns or leases them. Like some VPN providers, Mullvad shows you its server list. Using this feature will likely slow down your internet connection compared to a single hop server and not every server can be used in Mullvad’s Bridge mode. Bridge also allows users to bypass the most restrictive firewalls by connecting to two different locations to “trick” censors or the website you’re trying to access. Activating it allows you to route your connection through two VPN servers, adding another level of encryption. Mullvad has a feature called Bridge mode, its multihop feature. Instead, you start by generating an account number on the website, make a payment then download the app. You don’t need to provide personally identifying information such as name, email address or phone number when signing up with Mullvad. However, if you want to pay for a recurring subscription, you’ll need to pay via either credit card or Paypal.

Those who pay with eligible cryptocurrencies will receive a 10% discount. Mullvad also accepts cash-place your payment token that’s randomly generated and cash in an envelope and mail it to the company.

You can pay with a wide variety of methods, including bank write, Bitcoin, credit card, Paypal and other types of electronic transfers. The company has about 780 servers spread across 61 locations. Mullvad VPN is based in Sweden and offers affordable and flat pricing (at $4.86 per month), no matter if you’re paying monthly, annually or in 10-year blocks.
