Show HN: Find Mullvad VPN servers with the lowest latency
https://github.com/Ch00k/mullvad-closest
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.

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.
