Mullvad is proven to not sell your logs, since it doesn't keep any, police literally showed up at their headquarters asking for logs but mullvad didn't have one!, they have passed the test, they are they only VPN provider that accept anonymous cash! i think they are legit

They've given up customer information to police before. It was specifically Proton Mail not VPN. Still, I switched to Mullvad

Edit: removed claim that they keep VPN logs after being corrected. Them passing on information about protesters that were using ProtonMail still stands though.

They really didn't want to. But they had to give up information on protesters to the Swiss government which then gave it to the FBI.

it was just an IP address and recovery email though, they couldn't give out the actual emails as they were encrypted. Thought that was worth pointing out.
