Here are their logging policies:

- Mullvad: <https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/> <sup>[[Archive.org]](https://web.archive.org/web/https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/)</sup>

In addition, we will also mention a newcomer to watch: Safing SPN <https://safing.io/> <sup>[[Archive.org]](https://web.archive.org/web/https://safing.io/)</sup>) which (while still in the alpha stage at the time of this writing) which also accepts cash and has a very distinct new concept for a VPN which provides benefits similar to Tor Stream isolation with their "SPN"). Note that Safing SPN is not available on macOS at the moment. This possibility is "provisional" and at your own risk, but we think was worth mentioning.

Personally, for now, we would recommend Mullvad due to personal experience.

We are not affiliated with any brands as pointed out in our [Constitution](/constitution.html). Personally, for now, we would recommend Mullvad due to personal experience.

**We would not recommend Proton VPN as much because they do require an e-mail for registration unlike Mullvad, iVPN, and Safing. Proton also has a tendency to require phone number verification for users who register over Tor.**
