Mullvad is a privacy-first VPN that uses anonymous account numbers, requires no email to sign up, and even accepts cash payment for anonymity. It targets users who prioritize minimal data collection above all else. Mullvad keeps no activity logs, a posture backed by recurring independent audits, and its apps are open-source while its servers run diskless and RAM-only. The company is based in Sweden and charges a single flat monthly rate with no tiered plans, free tier, or dedicated business plan. Its server network is smaller and focused on owned infrastructure, reflecting a deliberate privacy-over-scale design.
