At a GlanceExpert`s Rating Pros Good speeds Inexpensive pricing Unrivaled user anonymity Versatile payment options Cons Struggles with unblocking streaming services Smaller server network Not as feature-rich as competitors Our Verdict Mullvad VPN is one of the most private and secure VPNs on the market. It also offers a user-friendly interface, good speeds, and inexpensive pricing. All of these things and more make it one of the top VPN services—especially for the privacy-Conscious user. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Sweden-based Mullvad is like the Swiss Bank account of VPNs—it doesn’t ask questions and gives you the best privacy and security possible.  When I say that Mullvad takes your privacy seriously, I mean it. Unlike other VPNs, Mullvad goes so far as to disconnect your account from an email by auto-generating an account number for you. They will even let you pay in cash. And this level of anonymity goes well beyond just registration, permeating everything you do with the app. Since our last review the service has undergone another independent audit and adopted post-quantum encryption on all platforms, further cementing its place as one of the most secure and trustworthy VPNs on the market. Read on to learn more, and then see our roundup of the best VPNs for comparison. Mullvad VPN in brief: P2P allowed: Yes Device connections: 5 simultaneous connections Business location: Sweden Number of servers: 650+ Number of country locations: 44 Cost: $5.16 per month What are Mullvad VPN’s features and services? Mullvad’s Windows app is clean and easy to use. Sam Singleton When you open Mullvad’s Windows app it strikes one as modern and clean. It starts with a non-interactive map in the primary section of the window and a red banner up top to indicate you’re not currently connected, with the device name and remaining time left on your account listed. Towards the bottom of the app screen you’ll find a button showing your currently selected VPN server and below that a Connect button which you can click to connect to the chosen server. When connected, you’ll see a Switch location and Disconnect button at the bottom of the window. The top of the screen, meanwhile, becomes a green banner with the Mullvad VPN logo indicating you’re now connected to the VPN. Mullvad has a relatively small server network, but provides a lot of useful detail for each server.Sam Singleton If you jump into the country listings, you can either select a country, select a specific location within the country if more than one is available, and even drill down to individual servers. The app doesn’t show any specific metrics about each server such as ping times or load, but if there’s a red circle next to a server, that means it’s not available for use. Green, meanwhile, means it’s working. With over 650 total servers, Mullvad VPN’s server network is rather small compared to some of its competitors. Services such as CyberGhost VPN and Private Internet Access boast server networks of over 10,000. Still, I never felt that I was limited in my options while using the service. The app itself is very easy to read and understand both in the Windows and Android versions. The default Windows’ app panel is automatically fixed to the bottom-right corner of the screen, but you can change this under settings if you wish. Mullvad traditionally hasn’t been big on extra features or services compared to other VPNs. It doesn’t promise to get past Netflix VPN restrictions (though sometimes it does), there aren’t any double-hop connections, or smart DNS; however, that doesn’t mean it’s a barebones VPN by any stretch. Mullvad recently did away with automatic-renewals on its subscription plans in order to minimize the private information it stores. Mullvad’s settings menu allows a ton of customization and is packed full of tweakable privacy options. Sam Singleton The service still provides the most important and frequently used features such as a kill-switch, split-tunneling, and ad-/tracker-blocking. It even takes its kill-switch one step further with a feature called Lockdown mode that will only allow your device to connect to the internet when it’s connected to a Mullvad VPN server. All of these features can be found by clicking the gear icon on the homescreen to access the settings menu. Go to Settings > VPN settings, and you can enable Mullvad’s IPv6 option, as well as manually choose between using OpenVPN or WireGuard. Mullvad was one of the earliest VPN services to implement WireGuard. Its multi-hop feature for WireGuard is also available here as well.  Since 2024, all WireGuard connections through Mullvad come with default “quantum-resistant” encryption technology. Mullvad once again places itself at the forefront of security innovations by fully adopting this standard. Another nice tool to use with the VPN is Mullvad’s connection check webpage. It lets you know if the app is working and currently connected to Mullvad. It also checks to see if you are leaking DNS requests, suffering from a WebRTC leak, or using a blacklisted IP address. Mullvad has apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android, all of which are open-source. How much does Mullvad VPN cost? Mullvad’s pricing is pretty cut and dry. For one month you’ll pay €5, or about $5.16 at the time of writing. It also offers subscription options for one year and a staggeringly long one decade. That’s practically a lifetime in the VPN market and just goes to show you how confident it is in the future of its service. Despite these long-term subscription options, the price still remains the same €5 every month. To compare, other VPN services typically offer their monthly subscription for around $10 per month and longer-term subscriptions average out to around $3 or $4 per month. That makes Mullvad VPN an extremely affordable short-term month-to-month VPN, but a more expensive long-term option. It’s also worth noting that Mullvad recently did away with automatic-renewals on its subscription plans. According to the company, this was “in order to store less data” such as on-file credit cards and other private information. As a result, you will need to manually re-up each month, or year, or decade, in order to keep using the service. A bit tedious, but that’s the price you pay for ultimate privacy. How is Mullvad VPN’s performance? In order to test Mullvad VPN’s speeds I measured connection rates across servers in different countries around the world for multiple days and then compared them to my baseline internet speed. I did this using both the OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols. The average download speeds across both protocols were rather impressive, clocking in at 53 percent of base speeds. The upload speeds were similar, maintaining an average of 49 percent of the baseline. That makes Mullvad a contender for one of the fastest VPNs, but still a ways behind speed demons such as Hotspot Shield and ProtonVPN. While testing speeds using different protocols I didn’t notice too much of a difference. WireGuard, as expected, had slightly faster averages than OpenVPN but the margins were so slim in my testing that I would be hard pressed to recommend one over the other for speed. The bottom line is that, overall, Mullvad’s speeds are more than enough for everyday internet activities, with the usual caveat that your experience may vary depending on your location in the world, equipment, and ISP. On Mullvad’s website you can find a list of which servers are rentals and which are owned by the service. Sam Singleton In recent years Mullvad started renting servers in addition to those it owns itself. Despite this change, there are no apparent speed decreases and from what I could tell, virtually no differences between the servers it owns and those it rents. If you’re interested, you can see which servers are owned and rented on its servers page. While Mullvad has a lot going for it, one area where it doesn’t impress is in unblocking streaming services. In my previous testing I found that the ability to access services such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max while connected was extremely hit or miss. Some servers had no issues while others detected the VPN and blocked access. This time around I found a slight improvement to the services I could access though. While Mullvad is certainly not the best VPN for streaming, it does okay at unblocking content. The good news is that once you’re able to find a connection that isn’t blocked, the speeds are fast enough to provide a seamless viewing experience with no buffering. How is Mullvad VPN’s security and privacy? The short answer is: excellent. Mullvad prides itself on user privacy, anonymity, and security. And it shows, too. Even from the time that you first pay for the service, it takes this seriously.  You have multiple options to pay for the VPN including by cash—unique among all other VPNs to my knowledge. Should you choose this method, Mullvad says it will take the cash, add credits to the account number included in the envelope, and then shred the envelope and the note. If you choose to use credit cards or PayPal, however, your usage of the service will be identifiable through those payment services—but it won’t be connected to any of your online activity. My DNS leak tests for both the Windows and Android apps came up clean with no leaks detected. This means you can trust Mullvad to keep your true IP address hidden while connected to its servers. By default, its DNS leak protection is always-on and can’t be disabled. Mullvad provides an additional feature called DAITA, or Defence Against AI-guided Traffic Analysis, which you can turn on under the settings menu. This will add network noise and make all network packets the same size.  It’s a way to further obfuscate your VPN traffic from sophisticated AI which may be able to distinguish your individual traffic patterns. Very few VPNs currently offer this advanced level of obfuscation, making it one reason Mullvad is a great option for privacy-conscious users. Mullvad offers WireGuard and OpenVPN protocol options with configurable settings for each. Sam Singleton In regards to VPN protocols, Mullvad keeps it simple by only offering the choice between OpenVPN and WireGuard. These are the two most secure protocols currently available and probably the best options anyways.  You also have the option to tweak and configure each connection to your own needs by choosing Ports, Obfuscation, and whether you want to use a Quantum-resistant tunnel. In the last year, Mullvad made all WireGuard connections quantum-resistant by default. While that might be a bit unnecessary now, we’ll all probably be thankful for this feature when quantum computers become more widely used in the future. Moving onto its privacy policy, Mullvad’s policy has exactly what you’re looking for in a VPN. Though it has now been split into two different documents: the general privacy policy and the “no-logging of user activity policy.” In those two documents the company says it does not “store any activity logs or metadata.” There’s no logging of your online traffic, DNS requests, connections, timestamps, IP addresses, bandwidth, nothing.  The only data Mullvad saves are the total number of current connections of all users on its network, the CPU load per core on its servers, and the total bandwidth used per server. It also logs the real-time number of connections per account as the service allows five simultaneous for each account. In 2023, Mullvad completed migration of its servers to RAM-only diskless servers meaning data does not persist on its servers nor can it be confiscated should the servers be physically removed—this goes for both the servers it owns and those it rents. Another welcomed development since our last review is that Mullvad underwent two new independent security audits by Cure53 and X41 D-Sec. Independent audits are always a good sign that a VPN is sticking to its no-log policy and maintaining strong security. They go a long way towards building user trust. Mullvad is owned and operated by Amagicom AB and based in Sweden. This means that it could be subject to mandatory government data sharing regulations since Sweden is a member of the 14 Eyes signals intelligence sharing alliance.  It’s not a huge deal as Mullvad does not log user data, but it’s good to be aware of, especially for the ultra-privacy conscious. Notably, Mullvad does seem to publish a notice on its blog whenever it’s subject to a search warrant. Is Mullvad VPN worth it? Mullvad VPN promises privacy and security and delivers both in droves. It might not have all of the flashy extraneous features of some other VPNs, nor does it excel at unblocking Netflix, but in practically every other area it shines. Its dedication to protecting user anonymity has never been in question and the latest independent security audits further prove this point. With this level of commitment to privacy as well as performance, Mullvad continues to be one of our top recommendations. Editor’s note: Because online services are often iterative, gaining new features and performance improvements over time, this review is subject to change in order to accurately reflect the current state of the service.

Next to Windows, Word might just be Microsoft’s most iconic software throughout PC history. Who hasn’t used Word at least once in their life? And how many of us have to use it every week — maybe even every single day — as we stare at white pages and that blinking cursor? You might think you’re proficient with Word. But there are so many small-yet-useful features that you might’ve glossed over, and those features can boost your productivity further if you let them. From format painting to hands-free dictation to being able to combine and contrast different document versions, here are some of the most essential Microsoft Word features you need to know. Related: Get Microsoft Office Home 2024 for $119 ($30 off) in PCWorld’s Software Store Save time formatting with Format Painter Jon Martindale / Foundry It’s one thing to copy and paste text or images across your Word document. But what if you want to replicate the detailed formatting of one section of text and apply it to another piece of text? Format Painter lets you copy and paste the style, not content, of what’s written. Simply select the text you want to copy from, then use the context menu to click the paintbrush icon. Then select the text you want to convert to that format and it’ll automatically apply it. Jump around using Navigation Pane Joel Lee / Foundry If you don’t know, the Navigation Pane (which you can open and close using the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut) is what you use when searching a document for certain words. But when your document is properly formatted with headings, you can actually use the Navigation Pane to jump around between sections. When your document is massive (e.g., a massive report, a bloated reference manual, or a working novel), this is way more efficient than manually scrolling around to find the section you need. Switch to Focus Mode to aid concentration Joel Lee / Foundry Focus Mode (sometimes also called distraction-free mode) is a useful feature in many applications, and Word is no exception. To enable Focus Mode, select View > Focus in the ribbon menu. Doing so will hide all the interface elements you don’t need, as well as full-screening the app without the taskbar or other distractions. Now you can better concentrate on what you’re working on. Use Dictation for hands-free writing Joel Lee / Foundry Dealing with repetitive stress injuries? Want to write in a stream-of-consciousness style without worrying about typing speed? Or maybe you want to lay down while staying productive? Dictation is your answer. You can enable Dictation by navigating to Home > Dictate in the ribbon menu, then speak while Dictate is On. Word will transcribe everything you say into words in the document. Alternatively, if you have a recorded audio file (e.g., lectures, interviews, or meetings), you can use Home > Dictate > Transcribe to convert it into text. However, you’ll need a Microsoft 365 subscription for this and you’ll get a maximum of 300 transcription upload minutes per month. Have Word read your text back to you Joel Lee / Foundry Sometimes you just need to hear something out loud to know how well it reads (or doesn’t read). While you could read your work aloud yourself, it’s better if someone else reads it to you — because you might mentally overlook errors and mistakes since it’s your own writing. Fortunately, Word can do it for you. Select the text you want read aloud, then select Review > Read Aloud in the ribbon menu. Word will read back what you’ve written. It’s a little robotic, but it does the trick. Compare and combine documents Joel Lee / Foundry Been sent a document and you need to know what changes were made to it? Or maybe you need to merge that document with another one? That’s where Compare and Combine can be super useful. To use these, either select Review > Compare or Review > Combine in the ribbon menu, then use the on-screen toolbar to select the files you want compared (side by side) or combined (into one document). Use Editor to proofread your work Jon Martindale / Foundry While I might be able to send my work to an editor before it gets published, not everyone is so lucky. Fortunately, you can always use Word’s built-in AI editor to proofread your work. To do so, select Home > Editor in the ribbon menu. This opens the Editor pane on the right side, which has notes on your spelling, grammar, and makes suggestions for refining your writing in a number of ways. Insert an automatic table of contents Joel Lee / Foundry A table of contents makes any longer document much easier to navigate and makes your work look more professional. You don’t have to add it by hand, though. There’s an easy way to insert one instantly, as long as all your sections have proper headings and subheadings. Place your text cursor where you want the table of contents to appear. Then navigate to References > Table of Contents in the ribbon menu. Click on the style you want and it’ll be automatically inserted into the document. You can make manual adjustments or refresh it automatically by selecting the table of contents and clicking Update Table. Paste text with all the formatting excluded Joel Lee / Foundry I know you’ve done this before: you copy a paragraph from another document or a web page or an app, then paste it into Word… only for it to be wildly formatted, ruining the look and layout of your document. Now you have to manually fix all the formatting yourself. Well, you can skip all of that hassle with a simple feature. Next time you paste text, right-click where you want it to go and click the Keep Text Only button (the clipboard with an “A” on it). Alternative, you can use the Ctrl + Shift + V keyboard shortcut. Either way, your copied text will get pasted with all the formatting stripped off. Find synonyms with one click Joel Lee / Foundry As much as we all might consider ourselves to be veritable thesauruses of nomenclature in our relative professions, none of us knows every single variation on a given term or phrase. And when you find yourself repeating the same words in a document, it’s good to switch it up sometimes. Word can help expand even your already-expansive knowledge base of words with synonym suggestions. Simply right-click on any word for which you need alternatives, then select Synonyms in the context menu to instantly get suggestions. (It works offline, by the way!) Use Copilot for all kinds of AI help Chris Hoffman / Foundry As of January 2025, Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is now included as part of Microsoft 365’s Personal and Family plans. (It isn’t available at all if you’re using the non-subscription Office 2024 suite.) To access Copilot, navigate to Home > Copilot in the ribbon menu. With Copilot in Word, you can submit prompts to AI-generate text with or without formatting, and you can chat with Copilot to get summaries of your documents, ask questions for answers, and perform some actions. With Copilot Pro, you can do even more. Create your own keyboard shortcuts Jon Martindale / Foundry Word is packed full of keyboard shortcuts to speed up your day-to-day usage, but maybe you have a hard time remembering them all. Or maybe there are actions without built-in keyboard shortcuts. Or maybe you want to reorganize your most-used keyboard shortcuts in a way that’s most intuitive to the way you personally use Word. You can do that! Navigate to File > Options in the ribbon menu, then click Customize Ribbon. At the bottom of that window, you should see “Keyboard shortcuts.” Click Customize next to it. There you’ll be able to find the actions you want to customize and input your own custom keyboard shortcut combinations for them.

Watching Plex videos with friends is about to get harder, with the company announcing that it will drop its “Watch Together” feature from its redesigned suite of mobile and TV apps.  On its community forum, a Plex rep announced Tuesday that “Watch Together will not be available in the new Plex experience for most devices.”  That said, Watch Together will live on in the Plex web app “for the foreseeable future,” the rep continued, adding that “we don’t preclude the possibility of offering similar functionality again in the future, using new tooling.”  The Watch Together feature has fallen by the wayside amid Plex’s push to roll out top-to-bottom revamps of its mobile and TV apps, including those for iOS, Android, and Apple TV.  “We’ve spent two years requiring our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms,” the Plex rep explained. “However, this release also means ending support for some features that we’ve grown to love, like Watch Together.”  Plex’s Watch Together feature first rolled out in May 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.   The feature allows Plex users to watch movies and TV shows together with far-flung friends and relatives, including titles from Plex’s library of streaming videos as well as those on personal Plex media servers.  Watch-party functionality became a popular streaming feature during Covid, with Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Movies Anywhere, and other streaming services launching their own versions during that pandemic.  But as Covid eased, some services began quietly dropping the feature, with Apple’s SharePlay “co-watching” functionality (which launched in 2021) taking up much of the slack.   SharePlay doesn’t support Plex, however, meaning that Plex users looking to party up must do so in web browsers after the new Plex apps arrive.

In the meantime, learn more about the built-in features that make Chromebooks ultra-secure. Read...

Windows 11 is already known for its strict hardware requirements, which Microsoft hasn’t let up on since the OS first released back in 2021. The TPM 2.0 security module requirement has disqualified a lot of older PCs from upgrading, but Windows 11 also requires a decent CPU. As of two weeks ago, Microsoft updated the list of compatible Intel processors for Windows 11 24H2, the latest version of the operating system that’s now mandatory for all Windows 11 users. According to Microsoft, only 11th-gen Intel processors and onwards are officially supported now. Previously, Windows 11 supported 8th-gen Intel processors and later. Anyone with an older Intel processor could now have problems updating to Windows 11 24H2. What does this mean for you? On paper, Microsoft now requires users who want to update to the latest version of Windows 11 to have even better hardware. Get Windows 11 Pro for cheap Windows 11 Pro However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that devices with older CPUs can no longer use Windows 11 at all. Versions 22H2 and 23H2 haven’t had their requirements updated to need stronger processors. (That said, version 22H2 has already reached its end of support and version 23H2 will be hitting end of support November 11, 2025.) To check whether your CPU is sufficient for the 24H2 update, first check which processor you have installed by going to Settings > System > About, then compare to the list. Alternatively, you can use Microsoft’s PC Health Check app to see directly whether all your system components are compatible with Windows 11 24H2. Why the higher hardware requirements? Microsoft states that the processor is “a critical factor for running Windows 11.” The current version of Windows 11 requires more cores and processing power to run all features properly. Presumably, the AI features coming to Windows 11 are also playing a role in the bumped-up hardware requirements. AI generally requires a lot more computing power and is more demanding on a system.

If you’ve ever seen images permanently etched onto an expensive television, then you know why some PC users still hesitate to upgrade to an OLED monitor. While the vivid colors and perfect contrast are amazing for gaming, doing regular work on these displays could spell burn-in disaster — or at least that’s the conventional wisdom. One YouTuber decided to put a new QD-OLED monitor to the test for a practical look at burn-in risk on the latest panels. Monitors Unboxed spent a year torturing the MSI MPG 321URX, a 32-inch 4K monitor with one of the latest QD-OLED panels. They set up a worst-case scenario that would maximize the potential for OLED burn-in: entirely static content, mostly writing and browsing the web, with minimal gaming or video playback. The semi-controlled test involved 60 hours of use per week, approximately 3,000 total hours after a year. The monitor was set to 200 nits of brightness. Windows 11 was set to light mode with a dark taskbar. The screen was set to sleep after 2 hours of inactivity (which is much higher than the typical setting for most users) and the burn-in reduction pixel refresh cycle going once per day (which is half the recommended refresh cycles, according to MSI). It’s a grueling schedule for any monitor. But for an OLED with basically no full-screen video? It’s a gauntlet. “Basically, the idea here is to perform real-world testing of OLED longevity in the worst possible configuration,” says Monitors Unboxed, “effectively burning in the display on purpose.” The goal is to use the OLED monitor in the same way you’d use an IPS-LCD monitor, which shouldn’t have any major issues after just one year of use. So how did it look after a year? According to the video, the panel showed some faint burn-in after three months, fairly evenly across the display. (I’ll add that as a former phone reviewer who’s dealt with dozens of small OLED displays, that’s pretty normal.) A little more was visible at the six-month mark, and a little less than expected at nine months. After a year of not-quite-daily pixel refresh cycles, the only visible effects are slight burn-in on blue and green subpixels, an obvious band where the dark taskbar sits, and a faint line down the center of the screen (which Monitors Unboxed attributes to using side-by-side windowed apps). The torture test is pretty good news, considering the test was done without most of the software compensations for burn-in, plus features like rapid display sleep turned off. Monitors Unboxed notes that burn-in on an OLED panel is cumulative, so there’s no way to lessen the damage once it’s done. Periodically playing games or videos won’t stop existing OLED burn-in damage from showing. But if you’re using your OLED for a mixture of activity types, and if you’re using the proper mitigation tools, then you can expect a new OLED monitor to last a lot longer without showing these results, especially if you’re not a constant eight-hours-a-day user. And as the presenter notes, this burn-in is all but invisible while you’re actually using the monitor. “I think most people will not see significant burn-in concerns using an OLED, even for productivity use, inside the first two years, possibly two and a half years.” The whole video is well worth a watch if you’re thinking of buying an OLED monitor or concerned about the longevity of your current OLED display. I’ll point out that MSI, like other high-end OLED monitor vendors, offers a 3-year warranty specifically for burn-in on the panel. Further reading: The best monitors, including OLED options Read...
