Germany has some of the toughest copyright enforcement in Europe. The concept of Abmahnung (cease and desist letters for torrent use) means that using the internet without protection carries real financial risk.
The key thing most VPN comparison articles miss: not all no-logs policies are equal. Any VPN can claim no logs. Very few have had that claim tested by a real police raid. Mullvad has. Swedish police arrived in 2023, found nothing, and left. That is more convincing than any third-party audit certificate.
For most German users, NordVPN is the practical choice. It has 250+ servers in Frankfurt and Nuremberg, a Deloitte-audited no-logs policy, and consistent speed on German fiber. For users with a serious privacy requirement, Proton VPN runs on Swiss jurisdiction (outside EU data retention rules) and publishes its full audit results publicly.
