Mysterium VPN scores 3.73 out of 10 and holds 55th place in the overall ranking. All six services in this list are decentralized: traffic runs through nodes run by independent operators, and the companies have no servers of their own. Two of the three leaders on the list turn out to be the same product.
Mysterium Network and Mysterium Dark: the same family
Mysterium Network scores 4.02, but it is the very network on which the same app is built. The Basic, Plus and Pro plans are the same, two years cost the same $2.59 per month, and you cancel the subscription through the same address, help@mysteriumvpn.com. The score is higher because the network's website describes Double VPN, OpenVPN, a proprietary protocol and a status page. Mysterium Dark (3.47) is a build of the same app published on F-Droid with code on GitHub. If the terms of Mysterium VPN do not suit you, for example the 30-day refund on the website versus 7 days in the terms of use, they do not change within the family.
Norse Labs DVPN: a free plan and sign-up without email
Norse Labs DVPN (3.5) is registered in Estonia and runs on the Sentinel network. The free plan is available without registration or a card, the trial period is 3 days, and the policy includes a warrant canary. The paid plan costs $3.99 per month, or $0.99 for a week. Refunds are available within 14 days, but payments made in cryptocurrency are not refunded. There is a gap in security: the service does not say whether it has a kill switch or DNS leak protection, hence a security score of 1.1.
URnetwork and VALT
URnetwork (2.75) gives you 30 GiB per day for free on two devices, while Pro costs $5 per month. The company is based in the US, which places it in the 5 Eyes group, and the service does not describe any tools for getting around blocks, so it scores zero for censorship bypass. VALT and Valt dVPN each scored 1.61; both are from the US and both rank below Mysterium VPN itself.
