I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

Been using PIA for years. Never had any issues. As others have said I've bought bulk subscriptions and you can get insanely low prices for it. I have it set up on multiple devices. Mobile app also works good as it has a built in DNS level as blocker.

Port forwarding works super well. They have clients for a ton of Linux flavors but you can always just use the ovpn files.

All in all, despise getting bought out by a pretty shady company I haven't found enough of a reason to switch off.
