Was NordVPN really awful for you? From my experience, it's one of the fastest VPN.
It used to be my favorite, but a couple of years back I started experiencing a massive drop in its overall performance... Despite renewing my subscription for two more years at that time, I only used it for less than a month before I decided to go with Mullvad.
- Having said that, you might get away with it for slow-paced games, but that's not the case with FPS games.A good alternative of Mullvad is IVPN because ... is open-source and also, for me, it's faster than Mullvad.
Thank you... I'll test it when my current subscription ends.
You can get a trial on every Non-Privacy Focused Mainstream VPNs if you want to test them for gaming. Just download them on your smartphone, then it will offer you a 7 day trial, create an account, activate a trial and then login with that account credentials in your PC.
As much as I hate to be the product, I tried this route but couldn't activate the free trials for both ExpressVPN & Surfshark since it required adding a payment method and I didn't want to do that... I'd put the gaming performance of Windscribe in between NordVPN and Mullvad while CyberGhost kept crashing for some reason.
