The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

“It’s sad that it’s needed,”
No, it’s not needed at all you twat. What a way to ruin your reputation.
Well then FUCK Mullvad
Ok mullvad is out. Same as proton VPN. Nord is shit. Any recommendations?
None that I’ve actually tested.
That said, Proton’s free tier is decent enough and you are not paying them a dime. With any luck, you’re actually costing them money.
Check out IVPN
Njalla is worth looking at but I ain’t vetting anything lol
Might be a dumb idea, but could a VPN be crowd-sourced? What if multiple people managed different instances, almost like a virtual coöp?
That’s more or less what Tor is. Technically it’s feasible, the issue is the amount and kind of trust between users and contributors that it requires.
The issue with Tor is that it’s rather slow, since it passes through several nodes before it arrives at its destination (or leaves the network).
@strawberry_enjoyer42 @veniasilente You mean Tor?
Tor sucks for larger amounts of data though.
@strawberry_enjoyer42 @veniasilente NymVPN is decentralised too, but I still must learn about their privacy.
Hmm. Looks interesting. Let me know what you find about it, eh?
Thanks!
Is this the same company that makes the browser mull?
No. Mull is discontinued and was made by DivestedOS. Ironfox is a fork of Mull.
Mullvad makes the Mullvad Browser with was made in partnership with Tor.
Honestly I don’t know. Isn’t mull a fork of Firefox?
@crazyminner Dont use mull, it doesn’t get security updates anymore. Its Ironfox for a year+ now.
Mullvad Browser is Desktop only.Thanks for the suggestion, just installed it now.

I’ve got some bad news about people with a lot of money for you mate.
But I’ve also got some good news: they’re quite tasty.
