I’m not sure about anyone else, but this is the type of tech I would wait for a few generations before even remotely considering diving into it. It just doesn’t seem worthwhile to me, especially considering that it sounds like the first generation will be a paid beta.
I was an AirVPN user for a number of years until Mullvad came around. I switched to Mullvad and stuck with them for a few years. However, now that Mullvad has gotten rid of port forwarding, I have since moved back to AirVPN.
The performance has been solid with all the servers I have used, even with multiple tunnels open. My only complaint is that the IPs on the servers I use are unfortunately blacklisted on quite a number of sites. Other than that, I am satisfied.
