What's the issue with Nord? A buddy just recommended it to me, but I rarely see it mentioned, so I've had a hard time understanding why not to use it.
Their reputation took a hit after a server breach in 2018.

It doesn't sound like a particularly bad breach but they didn't disclose it very quickly, which never works in a company's favor. I use Nord VPN still. I tried Mullvad for a while and it was good, but I found Nord did a better job at getting around geoblocks, and was cheaper. I use Mullvad's browser with it though.
