r/VPN_Question

Hey everyone,
I’m currently using Mullvad on a 300Mbps Fiber connection (EU/Greece) and considering giving IVPN a try. My setup includes three devices: an iOS phone, an Android phone, and a macOS laptop.
Mullvad has been solid across all my OS platforms, but I’m curious about IVPN’s overall performance, multi-hop implementation, and DNS anti-tracking features. Since both providers dropped port forwarding a while back, my main priorities right now are speed/latency consistency on WireGuard, cross-platform app stability (especially battery impact and seamless reconnection on mobile), and strong privacy defaults.
For those who have used both recently (and ideally across multiple OS ecosystems):
How does IVPN compare to Mullvad in terms of real-world WireGuard speeds and routing quality in Europe?
How stable and refined are IVPN's apps on iOS, Android, and macOS compared to Mullvad’s?
Is the upgrade to IVPN Pro (for Multi-hop) worth the price jump compared to Mullvad’s flat €5/month?
Any subtle pros/cons or device-specific issues you noticed after switching?
Thanks in advance for your insights!

It would cost me maybe $60 a year for a VPN. Is it something I should have? What are the main reasons for having a VPN? I don't travel often. I don't do anything illegal on the internet. I am trying to degoogle as much as I can on my PC and phone (no gmail, no sheets/docs), using Linux 95% of the time now. What are the main reasons I should use a VPN?

I am going to buy proton vpn with county with some of my friends , on app i read that proton allows 10 simultaneously device for same account for pro , is that true that single subscription can be used by 10 devices at once

Thank you
