What mainly seemed to me a motivation to use AirVPN was the price, 30€ per year with the halloween discount vs the 60€ per year of Mullvad was a good incentive, but seeing so many people criticizing AirVPN without much basis I was worried about making a bad decision, thanks for the great support.
I switched to AirVPN from Mullvad after they removed port forwarding and it has been working fine for me. The phone client is dated like others say, and I have had a few ads popup in it, but it's worked fine so far. I don't have anymore knowledge about their privacy standards than the next guy, but I'm not too concerned as I'm just using it to torrent Linux ISOs.
I will say that Mullvad is a pretty stand-up company, and I was sad to leave them, but I need port forwarding.
How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?
They're cheap and offer port forwarding and there is a radio button you can click to stop seeing ads. It's typically just a sale notice for AirVPN.
No worries. They are both good VPNs. You really can't go wrong.
