Their politics

I would hope that the mullvad staff are completely opposed to fascism, it would be naive to believe that is true of all of them though. I have no interest in them losing their jobs (except for the fascists of course), or in the company failing. But it would be dishonest to continue supporting mullvad now, while long term not supporting companies such as unilever, monsanto, nestle, amazon etc etc. Mullvad are no doubt in a bit of a crisis right now, but I do not believe they have responded well to this… they posted on nazi twitter, but not on mastodon, or bluesky for instance. I’m currently looking into alternative vpn options, and don’t have a single one that ticks the boxes. This sucks, my government (australia) has serious overreach/privacy issues, and is very clearly in the pocket of the usa, and israel.

Many options, so much dodgy. https://embed.kumu.io/9ced55e897e74fd807be51990b26b415#vpn-company-relationships

Maybe you agree with windscribe, maybe you just ignore the reality.

They are chasing votes from self absorbed people, it has always been a thing, but more people are getting into the scam globally now.

A very small percentage of vpns can be classed as decent, especially if you are in the southern hemisphere. I requested my refund from mullvad today, my replacement option is?

That depends on what the company does. If he refuses to be removed from the company, there is very little they can do about him. I just sent off my refund request for my recent payment/extension.

apathy is evils best friend

Decent people are boycotting the USA though, because that is the only chance we have to get the people of the USA to snap out of it and care enough to change their society. The same applies here, where Stromberg says it is not that big a deal, it’s just fascism.

If I had any doubts about leaving, the apathy shown in your screenshots from the co-founder has removed them

I don’t live in most countries, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t care, or that developments in them will not affect me. Read about the party, if you have no problem with them, you are the problem.

Good company though, very rare.

He didn’t just donate though, he basically funded it single handed. A quick read about the party suggests that the person in charge is seriously unhinged.

He needs to be bought out of mullvad.

Try being in the southern hemisphere and trying to achieve those goals… servers are scarcer here.

Time for me to reassess ivpn, and airvpn I guess

Co-founder. Very large contribution. Very unsavoury political party.

It is very unfortunate that ev’s and elon are linked in any way, he is not positive marketing.

An issue for those of us in the southern hemisphere, where mullvad is the only decent choice… but one of their founders is clearly not decent.

never support amazon

I’m so old I remember when sony was a decent brand

AMD is definitely the way to go with linux, but neither company deserves ‘team’ worship, they are both bad seeds, as are intel.

A ‘fun’ page for anyone looking into vpn’s
