Show HN: Find Mullvad VPN servers with the lowest latency (github.com/ch00k)

When traveling, in case my destination country does not have a Mullvad server, I often need to figure out which of the servers in surrounding locations have the lowest latency. This usually involves searching for servers around me, and then a lot of pinging, which, having done it twice, I decided to automate.


Windscribe provides a way to sort the servers by latency. I hope Mullvad is reading this post. If you are, it’s a very useful feature.


The IVPN client also has this feature, which is another selling point for customers of Mullvad looking for a provider which still supports port forwarding.


>looking for a provider which still supports port forwarding.

They're phasing it out too, not available to new customers and out by September.

Oh, that's too bad. I tried them out around a month ago, but decided to stick with Mullvad. Thanks for the correction.



Very handy, thank you!


using this while traveling is a great idea, thanks for this
