Not so long ago the only services really weeding out VPNs were top tier streaming services e.g netflix, and the response was always that Mullvad isn't trying to be a streaming VPN. But even so you could often switch to a different location and find one that works.

Now though, I don't know of any legal streaming service that isn't unusable with Mullvad entirely. But more than that, there's an ever increasing number of websites which try to nix VPNs. Imgur being an obvious one, and now reddit as well occasionally annoyingly blocks log-ins by claiming "incorrect username / password" when trying to log in with mullvad (if it hasn't happened to you yet.. it may well soon).

So now Mullvad's complete non-engagement with the VPN obstructing arms race isn't just a little streaming inconvenience, I'm finding that I'm having to use another VPN or none for big chunks of my internet usage, and given the trend I can only imagine this is going to get worse.

Does anyone know if Mullvad will improve on this in the foreseeable future? And if not if there is there an actually decent Mullvad equivalent which does? I love how easy, affordable lightweight and secure Mullvad is, but none of that really matters if it impedes internet usage.
