Totally agree but I’m fine with them choosing protonvpn as the best overall out of that list. I like proton and have used them for years. But, the fact that Mullvad wasn’t in their list at all is suspect.
Agreed with your last point, though Mullvad axing port forwarding means for torrenters they've become drastically less useful, so I wouldn't rate them very highly myself either. Despite liking them a lot.
I wonder why they don't employ Nat-pmp like Proton does.
I think Mullvad was being used for a lot of CSAM torrenting, and they didn’t like that. They got tired of regular users complaining of being blocked everywhere, and Interpol knocking on their door.
