Mullvad. Their servers run on RAM, and they don't have any information about you no email, no username you can even pay with cash. However, Proton has port forwarding, while Mullvad does not.
Mullvad does have split tunneling on Linux and Android. I don't know about Windows.
I don't know why I wrote split tunneling, I meant port forwarding. Thanks😀. Windows also has split tunneling.
What's the different with zego logs alternatives, e.g. https://openvpn.net/as-docs/tutorials/tutorial--turn-off-logging.html
If, for some reason, there is any data on the server and a malicious actor pulls it physically out, the data would disappear. There are probably other pros with RAM-only servers that I don't know.
What data if there is no log?
