I’m on the same boat as you. Have had Nord for 2 years and 10 months, out of which the 10 months has been from me just sharing my link to people that wanted a VPN. I used to like them, then they started pushing bullahit on Android like not allowing me to just refuse notifications. Granted, after a shotload of complaining they finally gave me a link to an apk that did allow me to keep it’s notifications off without constantly nagging me to enable them, but that was the last straw. My subscription finally ends on May 13th. I’m on a family plan on Proton, so now I use that. The only benefits of a VPN for my needs are geoblocks and if I ever need to use a public Wifi, and even then, o usually just VPN into my home via wireguard anyway.
Doesn’t even support Android/iOS, still in its infancy, and the benefits it provides are not really needed unless you’re a high-profile individual in which case you should just use Tor + WebTunnel.
Seems like Obscura uses mullvads exit servers so I would imagine it would be a similar level of anonymity. Can’t speak on feature parity though, that will have to come from someone who has used both services.
Finally, finally, I can answer something. I recognize the logo.

Is this better than mullvad? I’ve had nord for a while but finally cancelled and am going to get a new one when my sub expires.
