I've been reading through Signal's government requests and couldn't find a similar section on Mullvad's website. I'd be curious to read about them if there are any. It would seem unlikely to me that Mullvad has never received any kind of court order for information about a user.

They even stopped allowing customers to pay with credit card recurring payments because they didn't want to store customer payment info that could harm their users.

I currently pay Mullvad with a recurring charge on my credit card.

They brought it back? That's concerning

They realized banning convenience is bad for business. You can still pay in private ways

When they announced it, they said it would be bad for business, but that they valued their customers privacy more than the cost it would cause in lost business.
