What makes you say this? IVPN and Proton have proven they are trustworthy as well.

Obscura by definition is the same or better than Mullvad because of the multi-party factor.

the billing options, the server selections and technology, come to mind.

also should not mention but some regional vpns (dig around the area you like) quite often do not get get hellflagged as vpn ip. cloudflare usually gets it but it has never been obnoxious like i’ve seen on others.

oh and most importantly, i have 5gbit symmetrical fiber and most close servers nearly saturate both ways and i dont think ive ever seen go below 500mbit. excellent speeds most the time, ive never seen any other provider come close but only tried a few others. steal for the price.

i also like you can set custom dns while active, i use along nextdns

> Mullvad took their VPN traffic and wrapped it in QUIC obfuscation. To the CCP's omniscient routers, it doesn't look like a VPN trying to tunnel out. It just looks like boring, encrypted HTTPS web traffic.

Ignoring that this article is shamelessly LLM-generated, I did not actually know Mullvad had QUIC obfuscation, so this is a cool fun fact.

> Connect the dots here. The only way the Chinese government can block Mullvad now is to block all HTTP/3 traffic. If they do that, they instantly nuke their own banking sector, e-commerce platforms, and state infrastructure.

No they don't. The amount of work it takes to have a HTTP/3 web server means those sectors probably don't even have it yet. Even if they did, I wouldn't expect HTTP/3 to be the only way to access anything, not even a decade from now. Even HTTP/2 was awful to get working when it was new, and I haven't heard of even a single server not accepting HTTP/1.1; you are still more likely to encounter servers not even supporting HTTP/2 yet, let alone HTTP/3.

1. This is obvious AI slop 2. China can just ban the Mullvad IP ranges. They don't change that often
