The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

If it hasnt been 14 days, and you didnt buy with cash, crypto, or gift cards, you can request a refund. I also recently brought a few months, but unfortunately I learned about this just a few days too late.

Edit: Mullvad is honoring refunds past the 14 day window.

I still havent decided what I'm gonna switch to yet, I've been looking into AirVPN, IVPN, and Xeovo. I was really interested in Xeovo, it has all the features I used with Mullvad, except for SOCKS proxies, but I just learned that it even exists today, and I could barely find any endorsements or discussions about it, its probably fine and legit, but it just gave me a bad feeling. AirVPN has all the features I used with Mullvad, except SOCKS proxies again, but it does have port fowarding, it also has a decent sized userbase and a long history. IVPN has every single feature I used with Mullvad, and a decent history, however they only support wireguard connections over IPv4, and they said that they're still working on their IPv6 setup.

I still have months of time on my Mullvad account that I cant refund, I'm gonna continue to use it until it runs out and get what I paid for, if IVPN gets their IPv6 setup working by the time my Mullvadn runs out, I think thats who ill be switching to, otherwise ill probably go with AirVPN, but I have a lot of time left, so I think ill keep Xeovo in mind, just incase there are any developments there.
