  • Since my airvpn test month expired, I’ve just bought a Njalla subscription. Here are my experiences:

    Pro:

    • Payment via PayPal or cryptocurrency
    • Same price as Mullvad (5€/month)
    • Static IPv4 and v6, allows you to forward any port
    • Torrenting just worked (including port forwarding)
    • No VPN application, just use vanilla OpenVPN or Wireguard
    • Does not throttle my internet speed (I only have 50MBit/s, so I cannot really test VPN performance. Definitely better than AirVPN though)

    Contra:

    • Requires E-Mail address/XMPP to create an account
    • Only one client. If you need to access your VPN from multiple devices at the same time, you need to buy multiple subscriptions
    • Only Swedish servers

    Conclusion: for my usecase (Raspberry-Pi-based torrent box) Njalla looks great. If you want to use it on multiple devices or need to circumvent geoblocks, you should look for a different service.
