IVPN, Mullvad, or ProtonVPN on a router?

Questions
1

It seems like the best features of these VPNs all require using their apps. That’s obviously not possible on a router. As far as I can tell, all three services support WireGuard. So which VPN is better for being used on a router via WireGuard? Has there been any testing or in-depth analysis on which VPN is more secure in this situation?

They are all equally good for all intents and purposes. There are small differences in feature set but that’s only experienced via the app on each device. But if using Wireguard, they are equal in quality including privacy and security.

Unlike ProtonVPN, IVPN and Mullvad also offer the option of multiple hops in manual configurations. There’s also the added bonus of filtered DNS IPs with dozens of different combinations in Mullvad. GitHub - mullvad/dns-blocklists: Lists and configuration for our DNS blocking service

I don’t see any other option besides WireGuard. I’m wondering why there isn’t more innovation? Is it because of the WireGuard protocol?

Thank you for pointing that out. What’s the reason for Proton not offering multihop in a WireGuard configuration?

very much is possible, if you’ve got the configs.

I did a similar thing with opnsense to this How To Setup pfsense OpenVPN Policy Routing With Kill Switch Using A Privacy VPN and it works great.

Been meaning to write a guide for PG about it, it worked with both OpenVPN and wireguard for me.
