I’ve heard a lot about AirVPN, but it doesn’t have an app on Fdroid or anything. Yes you can download it directly from their site, but that is a little cumbersome.

Another option I’m considering is Windscribe.One major knock against it (and the same thing for AirVPN) is that htere is no tutorial available for installing the wireguard version on openwrt.

I really don’t know enough about these. Windscribe has been sort of tested in court (again that was in Greece, and they don’t have the same might of an authoritarian state as the US or some place), so that’s a plus.

I don’t know, I’m so confused that it sort of makes sense to stick with Mullvad at times.

        Thanks. Ironically, can’t see it since lemmy.zip uses Cloudflare, which uses broken bot captcha which blocks Mullvad tunnels.

        I am aware of https://mullvad.net/en/blog/donation-controversy and https://dberntsson.info/2026/07/20/orebropartiet/ and

        • extreme right wing moniker seems a smear campaign against Örebro

        • the company has nothing to do with private affairs of the founder

        This whole campaign smells of something intelligence services would do if they’re facing a problem they can’t make go away another way. And it is actually working because of people like you, who amplify this attack.

          They are nationalist racists trying to cloak themselves with populist leftist ideas. This is the leader of that party:

          https://www.friatider.se/markus-allard-om-andra-generationens-invandrare-de-ska-ocksa-ut

          Örebro Party leader Markus Allard goes to the election on expulsions. He opens to withdraw citizenship and also expel second generation of immigrants – even if they were born in Sweden.
          “I’m prepared to cross corpses,” he said.

          One suggestion that he has is that citizenship and permanent residence permits can be torn up – with reference to “Sweden is the country of Swedes”.

          In a section of Yoshi’s Podcast, Allard develops his view on expulsions and explains that he prepared to “go over corpses” to bring home unwanted immigrants. The host notes that there will be no beautiful sight when, for example, immigrant mothers who have been on maternity leave for 15 years are to be deported together with their children. “It’s not going to be pretty to send these people home,” he said. Markus Allard agrees, but says: I think you can handle that optics. Even the children will need to be deported, he explains.

          He further explains that many of the problems relate to second-generation immigrants. They are going out too. Even if they were born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedes. They have not become Swedes. It says Sweden in the passport, but they have not been interested in becoming part of Sweden. There’s a difference. It’s a qualitative difference," Allard said

          Remember; the Nazi’s did the same thing by strategically calling their party the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, despite them not being socialist nor a working class party. This was chosen because Socialism was gaining popularity, and thus the Nazi’s thought it would help their chances of getting votes and public support.

          It definitely is an extreme right party, and the founder’s riches are a direct result of the company’s success.

          Nope, looking at that post, it looks like a far right party blaming poor people and PMC instead of their real enemies (the ruling class internally and the United States externally). The founder describes themselves as a libertarian anarchist and supports a far right party, mega shocker there, but pretending it’s a smear is false. Just be honest and say you don’t care if you don’t care, don’t try and fool those of us who suffer from the effects of fascism that this isn’t a fascist movement.

            I am getting tired of everyone being called fascist. Because if everybody is a fascist, then nobody is.

            I’m basing my choice on technology and personal recommendation of people I trust who know the owners.

            All this loud thread just confirms this is an attack based on spurious reasons.

              What an absolutely insane take. I’m so sorry calling this awful person out is just forcing you into fascism. It really is a shame you have autonomy over your own actions and you just have to go along with it.

              Have you considered being against fascism?

              You could at least claim to be a decent person then, doesn’t that sound like a good thing?

                I am. Fascists killed 27 millions of my former citizens, including my grandfather. Fascists are still murdering people by the hundred thousand per year in Europe.

            So you are attacking my character rather than correcting me? That doesn’t work. Please provide your backing information.

              Wait what lmao? Do you know how claiming things work? You made a claim now back it up. I don’t have to prove the opposite, that’s not how any of this works.
