I'm pretty sure they are profitable, considering they were founded in March of 2009. You can't really run a company without profits for 14 years, right? Just routing network traffic isn't that expensive after all. They are the only ones being honest about it, other VPNs charge way more because they only want to extract money from their customers.

Cheers. Network related stuff isn’t my forte so I really have no idea about the costs. I just figured that the moment you start adding a decent amount of users the costs will go up, and €5 seems like a really fair price.

It's actually the other way around, the more users you have the cheaper everything eventually becomes

Mullvad is 5 bucks a month and never has promos.
Weigh that against Nord which often has a year for like 15 bucks…
But Mullvad is one of the few that actually seems to care about privacy.

Oh wow, I had no idea Nord could go that cheap. To me €5 a month felt really inexpensive.
