MODERATORS
ProtonVPN even has a pretty good free tier without bandwidth limits.
I'll also add 2 more:
IVPN - Nearly same as Mullvad.
AirVPN - Offers up to 5 forwarded ports without costing a lot.
IVPN - Nearly same as Mullvad.
do they use quantum secure encryption?
If not, that's like comparing a horse-drawn carriage to a space shuttle.
Yep: https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/general/quantum-resistance-faq/
You also don't need to sign up, just like with Mullvad, and you can even pay in cash, just like with Mullvad.
Cool, they also support privacy coins, though they're a little more expensive than Mullvad ($6/month, only two devices), unless you commit to a longer-term contract.
Thanks!
cool, what country is their headquarters based in?
Gibraltar, a british territory.
You could just: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Where+is+IVPN+based%3F
if they're based in a UK territory it's only a matter of time before their censorship and surveillance laws either take them down or turn it into spyware.
just host a 5 $ cheap droplet and run your own openvpn service
Mullvad costs €5/month...
And your traffic is mingled with others, there are tons of locations, it's not associated with your identity, etc. Also, it supports WireGuard, which has much better performance on Linux (especially relevant when running on a router).
I am surprised it isn't more of them
These are from the playstore. There's probably a lot more of these in alt stores.
Thanks for sharing 🌻
