    That was a very good conversation.

    If you're interested in the topic of privacy and security oriented VPNs, what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are, and what their alternatives are, you might give this thread and the many responses a read.

    I disagree with several elements of some of the responses, but even those responses are often given with backed up claims, nuance, and in a respectful manner.

    I really love the fediverse, lol!

      All "privacy oriented" commercial VPNs are honeypots. You can't change my mind on that. Mullvad VPN has heavy marketing in Washington DC (their ads are plastered all across the metro stops frequented by government workers and foreign diplomats) for example. The whole "you need to hide something? here we'll hide it for you! Everyone that wants to hide something should put is all in this one consolidated place!" But they totally won't look at it. They swear. No logs, bro. I promise. I can look, but I won't. I could log, but I won't. So while Mullvad the company is showing their ass, asking what other VPN to hop to begs the question: Why are you using a commercial VPN? If it's to change your IP address to bypass porn restrictions in fundamentalist theocratic states, then cool. That's a solid use case. If it's for a nebulous reason like "for privacy" or "for security". Then you might want to see if that tool actually meets your specific threat modeling. #VPN #mullvad #mullvadVPN
