I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I've had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

Even proton is super exposed to the web, I hate nord but they're the only one I've ever used where you barely ever get captchas or broken apps

Have you tried all the extra settings they have to bypass blockers? There’s a lot of ways to change things to get it to work.

It's probably been a year or so since I've given Mullvad another try, so maybe it's time I do that soon.

something that works for me is trying different servers until one gets through, i.e. it's not in the site's blocklist. Then I favorite that server and use it whenever I need that particular site
