First I'm hearing of ObscuraVPN at least, but it does seem to be a very new player in the market. However from reading through their website and Github. This service does look very promising! Though it is slightly more expensive than Mullvad.

Anyone had the chance to test their service yet? Does it seem interesting to you? Let's discuss.

It's swarmed by crypto content but it's a nice, simple, distributed protocol. Run your own node; compared to any AP service, it's astonishingly lightweight. Peer, or not; refuse to handle traffic from the crypto heavy nodes.

It's a fantastic, well designed protocol. Read a few NIPS, then read the Activity Pub design and you tell me which one you think is more well-designed.

I won't ignore that the majority of traffic was crypto stuff, but it's slowly broadening out to more legitimate content, like porn.

Pretty sure it also has a decent amount of alt-right MAGA content as well.
