The software is basic allowing you to choose which server to connect to and includes and auto-disconnect option.
Mullvad accept Bitcoins and there is a limited free 3 hour trial.

Our Thoughts: A small VPN network that is big on privacy but our test results were a bit disappointing on P2P with speed fluctuating wildly during download. No UK servers.

Note: The handshake protocol (MSCHAP_V2) used by many PPTP connections has been cracked and therefore PPTP could now be considered unencrypted. For maximum security use OpenVPN or L2TP.

Have used Mullvad for about 4-f years now. However, this will be my last when it expires later this year. They have been fine, but now the speeds are nothing other than HORRIBLE. It takes about 6-8 hours to DL a 650K episode. Hate to leave, but the speed leaves no choice. Wish I knew why the recent downturn in speed… Oh well…..
The speed leve somthing to whis for, but i feel saft using mullvad and i have never ben disconected… Upload speed in uTorrent i more or less the same as whituot VPN but the downloadspeed leve a bit to whis for, can get 2-4 mb down on my 100/10 line.
