<p>Mullvad has published <a href ="https://apps.apple.com/app/mullvad-vpn/id1488466513">App Store</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mullvad.mullvadvpn">Google Play</a> clients, both supporting an easy-to use interface as opposed to requiring users to manual configure their WireGuard connections. The mobile client on Android is also available in <a href="https://f-droid.org/packages/net.mullvad.mullvadvpn">F-Droid</a>, which ensures that it is compiled with <a href="https://www.f-droid.org/en/2019/05/05/trust-privacy-and-free-software.html">reproducible builds</a>.</p>

<p>The Mullvad VPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot.

Supposedly, <a href="https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/22">China has to use a different method to block ShadowSocks servers</a>.

<p>The ProtonVPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot. ProtonVPN also offers "Tor" servers allowing you to easily connect to onion sites, but we still strongly recommend using <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">the official Tor Browser</a> for this purpose.</p>
<p>ProtonVPN have their own servers and datacenters in Switzerland, Iceland and Sweeden. They offer adblocking and known malware domains blocking with their DNS service.
