I've used Mullvad in the past. Had an alright experience with NordVPN as well, though I'm skeptical of anyone that claims "no logs".

NordVPN is known for IP address leaks. So be wary of that.

All the more reason to use It.

Security awareness Is one of the best forms of defense. When the leaks were Identified, they were aware of their vulnerabilities and patched them accordingly- which ultimately strengthened their service as a VPN provider.

As you say. Companies that are able to learn from an experience shouldn't lose customers. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

You can sort of tell if a VPN service really cares about their privacy. The service providers I stated have evidence that they do not keep logs whatsoever. Not only that, but they also give you a brief detail and/or idea of what they keep and not keep. These VPNs have been in cases where authority seized their servers and acquired nothing at all. Not only that, but some of these VPN services have been to court and fought cases in which dealt with handing in user data - in which they had none at all.

In order to differ a good VPN from a VPN is looking up cases on them.

Some examples can be:
Have they been seized? If so, were authority able to claim identifiable data about user? Or did they obtain nothing?
Has the VPN service been to court? Did they fight for their users privacy or did they supply users data?

Note: An extremely poor VPN will claim that they keep no-logs and not providing a brief idea of what they actually keep - PureVPN is known for this, later on proven to hand in some sort of data that identifies users.

Absolutely.

Every VPN service provider goes through issues, but sometimes if those issues are ignored, it can heavily lead to a declining customer dissatisfaction. Though, in NordVPN's case, their "no-log" policy seems to be skeptical by man users as they keep some sort-of connection logs. That aside, I don't find it a bad VPN at all, it is a good VPN service, but for my privacy needs, I simply have better privacy-focused alternatives.
