The IT company Mullvad's founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a huge donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates ”extensive return from Sweden. ”It's sad that it needs”, he tells Flamman. "My ideal is free movement, but really bad criminal, immigration and integration policies (and more) have put us in today's miserable situation." https://www.flamman.se/techprofil-ger-miljoner-till-orebropartiet/ #privacy #VPN #EU #uspol #immigration #sweden #racism #fascism #Mullvad

ICYMI "Örebropartiet" is the political party that #Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntsson personally donated 5 million Swedish kronor to. That's over 500,000 US dollars and almost 450,000 Euro. The party is described as "to the right of the far right." #Politics #EuroPol #Sweden #Europe #Tech #VPN

Sweden's rise of a party to the right of the far right puts local democracy in Örebro under pressure

'Europe's far right takes root' (3/6). In the municipal elections held on September 13, Örebropartiet, founded by a former activist from the Left Party, won 17.2% of the vote by capitalizing on social media and an ultraradical, nationalist message.

I'm getting rid of Mullvad, because I don't want any of my money going to Nazis. Any suggestions for an alternative? I'm pretty much insisting on paying (because "if it's free, you're the product", and this is supposed to be a privacy tool). I like the cut of Windscribe's jib, but is it just cool marketing? Proton's a shaky one with their free and easy stance on giving governments access to people's email. Nord feels overhyped. What are the hot tips for simple unobtrusive VPN services? #VPN #Mullvad #Windscribe #Proton #Privacy #Security #NetworkSecurity

Today is my last day of Mullvad. I'm really stuck choosing an alternative. The best I've seen is ivpn - but have read comments about it being slow and only having a few servers. Maybe I should just sign up for a month and see. It's a shame that Mullvad just shrugged its shoulders about criticisms. I'd appreciate recommendations for a vpn as a Mullvad replacement. #vpn #mullvad

@TenebrisNox@mastodon.me.uk I got a refund from #mullvad after cancelling. The entire conversation with support was quite civil and they said they would pass on my remarks to management. I’ve been using #iVPN for a month now. It seems to work well enough but is lacking some of the features that I liked with mullvad. Speeds are comparable, in my experience.

Today, one of the co-CEOs of #Mullvad (no, not that co-CEO, the other one) gave a keynote at the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS). Someone passed these out while he was speaking. I wasn't at the talk, but I hear the Q&A was spicy, all about this topic. I think it was recorded and will post a link if/when it goes up.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online I like this fragment: “Sometimes it is the most persecuted ideas who win out and become self-evident truths of later history.” Have you heard about Popper’s tolerance paradox? There’s a trivial and very relevant example for why your own rationale is dramatically flawed: in Europe, you could say Putinism is “persecuted” and for good reason. If, thanks to your stance, Putinism takes over Europe YOU will be the first to be banned and prosecuted, and it will be not debatable. And then what? #vpn #fascism #mullvad #censorship

@ms_zwiebel@tech.lgbt I haven't settled yet on what's a decent VPN alternative, although my current frontrunners are Njalla (run by a co-founder of The Pirate Bay) and Nebula by Defined.net. Not sure about their politics, but distributed and Nebula is FOSS which is a positive signal, while not a guarantee. What I've ruled out: ProtonVPN - Actively working with government against activists Windscribe - Transphobic indications Mullvad - Funding a fascist leaning party I'd love to hear anything people have learned about the alternatives, either pro or against. Boosts appreciated for reach. #Mullvad #VPN #Privacy #Politics #ProtonVPN #Windscribe #Njala #Nebula #DefinedNet

Falls euch Proton wegen der politischen Äußerungen seines Vorstandsvorsitzenden Andy Yen oder Mullvad wegen der Spende eines Mitgründers und Geschäftsführers an die populistische Örebro-Partei nicht mehr zusagen, haben wir fünf VPN-Alternativen getestet. Dabei schauen wir nicht nur auf Preis und Funktionsumfang, sondern auch auf Tracking, No-Log-Angaben, Kill-Switch, Leak-Schutz und Alltagstauglichkeit. 👇 https://www.kuketz-blog.de/empfehlenswerte-vpn-alternativen-zu-mullvad-und-proton/ #VPN #Datenschutz #Mullvad #Proton

just throwing my 2 cents into the #vpn choices and based on what i've looked at in the last few days. (yes i'm moving away from #mullvad not in a cutting off my nose to spite my face sort of way) i've looked at the following and i've decided not to go with : #ivpn, #windscribe i also avoided #kagi (incidentally also partnered with ws with discounts) which has AI , based in US and a paid model that I suspect I'll still be the product even though I paid. Either way, i've tested the free search and I don't find it life changing great. the ones that made the 'okay' list was : #njalla, #xeovo, #riseup, #airvpn i wasn't able to find (easily) a list of server locations with #njalla, njalla, riseup and xeovo needed some sort of tech knowledge to get started, and its not ideal as i needed to get this for the household and mobiles. only airvpn was one of the remaining that may had dubious twitter past. but it was the only choice left that had the server location i needed, so this was where i eventually land. mind, airvpn requires you to register with an account, so if you are worried about this, it's not for you. i don't use them for anonymity. tbh, if xeovo had locations and native app setup, i will jump on it. right now it just felt like a compromise. some references: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/empfehlenswerte-vpn-alternativen-zu-mullvad-und-proton/ https://nitter.net/windscribecom/status/1991234536626106606 https://mastodon.social/@xeovo/116852507230389517

Gonna can #Mullvad VPN after what I'm hearing. Thinking about Windscribe. Not great that they're based in Canada, but they've got a no logs policy and port forwarding. AND their no logs policy has been tested in court. Any thoughts? #Privacy #VPN EDIT: Windscribe is apparently transphobic oof

A quick PSA: I had previously suggested windscribe as a VPN to use when leaving mullvad, after it's been discovered that mullvad is heavily financially backing fascists. I formally recant the recommendation for windscribe and would encourage anyone to read the following as to why: https://nitter.net/windscribecom/status/1991234536626106606 I feel appalled that I gave them the money and support that I had, but that stops immediately. #vpn #windscribe #mullvad #privacy #security
