Nice. Based on Mullvad, and cheaper ($4.99 < €5). I wonder why is limited to USA when Mullvad works almost everywhere.

Likely they are still working with other countries so they can sell to consumers in those regions. Lots of bureaucracy to deal with I imagine.

This is pre-release anyway, so hopefully it will become available outside of the US soon.

In terns of privacy, does it actually help with reducing IP based fingerprinting? I looked up Wireguard and Mullvad help pages, but could not find anything. Only thing I found was Mullvad saying [1] that it uses static IPs and it's not ideal :(

Wireguard and Mullvad is very nice! My guess was they were going to partner with ProtonVPN. Still waiting for their Wireguard support.
