What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don’t know if they are any good.

    Similar issues with Proton CEO, he seems to be a Trump fan.

    Furthermore, I heard it’s generally bad practice to use a VPN provider from your own jurisdiction, AirVPN mentionend above is located in Italy for example and won’t sell any accounts to Italians for that reason.

      How to get downvotes: offend the proton zombie fanboys

      I wasn’t aware that airvpn refused Italian customers, the company definitely has some interesting policies though: including no servers in israel, or russia, and no servers in australia because of our f*cked up internet privacy laws.

        begs the question of why tuta doesn’t keep accidentally praising trump and his fascists.

              proton is greenwashing for those interested in privacy.

              I was previously a customer, walked away from a 2 year subscription that still had about 18 months left on it.

                i was going to become a customer until it’s ceo voiced support for trump and every single fascist-friendly incident created by proton since then has made me glad that i’ve never given them a penny.

          this makes a lot more sense than anything else i’ve heard and especially why they keep accidentally praising trump and his fellow fascists.

      The reason air won’t sell accounts to Italians is because Italy has a law against using technology to view or share pirate soccer broadcasts and air doesn’t want to or can’t prevent people from doing that (also they’re positioned in the marketplace perfectly for piracy and just about nothing else).

      It’s not because they believe or follow the recommendation that a provider be outside the users country of residence. Which is advice that’s situational.
