Basically I started with mullvad then turned to proton but after they introduced AI and a crypto wallet I’m just looking for what peoples opinions are.

EDIT: Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions :D

Oh does the 5 device limit not apply to OpenVPN? Interesting

It technologically can't. With Wireguard, you need to upload each device's public key to Mullvad, thus registering each device separately. With OpenVPN you login with username and password. Or in this case just the username.

Theoretically speaking, you could have the same private key on 2 devices that won't be connected simultaneously though.
