(Interesting that it didn’t show up here beforehand…)

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.

    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).

        Tor sucks for larger amounts of data though.

        @strawberry_enjoyer42 @veniasilente NymVPN is decentralised too, but I still must learn about their privacy.

      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.

      @crazyminner Dont use mull, it doesn’t get security updates anymore. Its Ironfox for a year+ now.
      Mullvad Browser is Desktop only.

        Limbs tend to come off rather easily. Heads as well. Just a bit of gravity does the work.
