I did have occasional issues with using a VPN and it was clear services were somewhat suspicious about me (very aggressive use of CAPTCHAs, additional login validation etc.).
That being said, outside of netflix (circumventing region-lock), I never had any issues with outright loosing access to tech oligopoly services.
Ah okay! Yeah that’s basically my experience with Mullvad. Anyways, you can try it out and if you don’t like it just don’t pay $5 for another month. 🤷♂️
