As if that means anything or other.

I prefer Perfect Privacy, even if only because I met them at a CCC
congress. Good guys.

Mullvad is good. So is Perfect Privacy and iVPN. They've been around
for a long time. They are all well regarded by privacy enthusiasts.
They have excellent reputations.

Gone are the days when there are "safe" countries and "non-safe"
countries.

Commit the wrong crime and you can, and will be hunted anywhere. Don't
forget tbat.

"Mullvad says it doesn't log any of your activity when you use the
service. Your connection timestamps, IP addresses, DNS requests,
bandwidth and traffic are never logged or stored by the company,
according to its no-logging of user activity policy. If true, it means
none of that can be traced back to your account number and nothing you
do online when you use Mullvad can be traced back to you personally,
since none of your personal information is connected to your account
number. Unfortunately there's no way to verify with 100% certainty if a
VPN company's no-logs claims are accurate.

Although Mullvad says it doesn't log user IP addresses, when you
connect with Wireguard, your IP address is temporarily stored in memory
during the connection. Wireguard deletes the data when a server is
rebooted or the Wireguard interface restarts, but Mullvad takes it a
step further and says it removes and reapplies the peer if no handshake
has occurred within 600 seconds. (That's when your device and the VPN
server exchange encryption keys, establishing a secure connection.)
"Doing so removes the public IP address and any info about when it last
performed a handshake," Mullvad .

Keep in mind, any single-hop VPN provider knows everything about your
traffic. They know your originating IP address and they know the
destination of your traffic.
