Have you cared to check the tiers they offer? Hint: not that many, and no free ones.

And knowing that mullvad doesn’t come close to the mainstream marketing others (well in essence one) VPN providers, your comment comes of as malicious.

I don't think its helpful to say that the comment you responded to was in any way malicious. It was a reasonable question.

It had a vary suspicions statement. They stated that they see specifically a lot of Mullvad ads. Not general VPN ads. That is what makes is sound malicious. Mullvad is not even close to being in the group of biggest marketing spenders.

You need a minute on their website to see that they have a very simple approach to funding their business. No "life time subscription" exclusive offers, no BS privacy claims...

Also this is HN, not a comment section on something like Yahoo news, really hard to consider people commenting here as being detached from tech trends and news.

Especially from someone who doesn't know all that much about the VPN business beyond seeing ads for it in some public locations and the very basics of what it is.
