Mudfish review

Mudfish is the budget specialist. It works like a booster, routing only game traffic, but you can switch it into a full VPN, chain servers together and use Multi Path Mode for redundant routes. Its comparison table lists 666 dedicated servers and 960 free public nodes, which the company says are completely free with no credits needed and no speed limit. Paid use runs on Mudfish credits sold in USD packs of $4.99, $9.99, $29.99, $49.99 and $99.99, spent either per traffic or on data plans, so light players can pay very little. Platform support is the broadest here: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome and Firefox extensions, OpenWRT routers, Steam Deck and WSL. The cost is effort. Choosing nodes and routes is more hands-on than ExitLag or NoPing, and per-traffic pricing is harder to predict than a flat subscription, which is why it scores lowest here on ease of setup.
