Mullvad VPN

“They go far and above any other company when it comes to helping their customers maintain anonymity.”

“Mullvad lets customers sign up for an account and pay in cash, which is a good, privacy-preserving choice.”

“This was literally Mullvad's response to one of their CEO being the main founder of a party with some peculiar views.”

“a company that is filled with people trying to push for a more open, private yet transparent internet”

“giving a significant amount of money to a political group that wants to restrict the rights of other people is too much for me”

“it's always funny how the hardline advocates of the free internet (especially outside of the US) are subject to this kind of unpersoning”

“I think Mullvad is a bad company if they have the absolute lack of morality and foresight to keep this jerk on as co-CEO”

“Not a Mullvard customer anymore, and going to never recommend you again for any person that asks me in the future.”

“One thing I admire about Mullvad is that you technically don't need to provide personal information to set up an account”

“the idea that a VPN can be 'pro-privacy' while cozying up to the government and encouraging deportations of Swedish nationals is impossible to square”

“Mullvad's brand can't really escape that sort of conflation once their CEOs spend their paycheck on those donations”

“I respect what the company has been doing and the pro-privacy political stance it openly and publicly stands for.”

“this entire series of statements from you mean nothing because it still boils down to "you have to trust the company"”

“if I were an activist in Iran, or in any other way my livelihood would depend on strong privacy services, I might keep using your service”

“Not many people have the backbone to actually stand behind freedom of speech when it may cost them something.”

“Money that leaves your wallet and goes to Mullvad ends up funding politicians that believe non-whites shouldn't have speech at all”

“money that I give to your company ends up being used by far-right politicians to oppose Mullvad's supposed mission”

“if the founder takes our money and gives it to causes that I (edit: or rather we) find reprehensible, we don't want to give them our money anymore”

“can I have a refund for the portion of my mullvad subscription that went to supporting organizations who think that people like me don't deserve to live?”

“respecting an employee's personal life privacy seems fairly in-line with the values one would want in a privacy-focused VPN company”

“When a founder and executive with influence over Mullvad policy and operations is exposed actively and financially support restricting free expression of people, it's not "tolerant" to pretend that's somehow compatible with the mission and brand of the company.”

“Very happy to be a customer of a company that supports freedom and privacy for everyone regardless of views.”

“It seems like there is someone or some group, that doesn't want people using the best VPN available.”

“They have been raided multiple times, tons of audits, does bleeding edge research on privacy preserving tech”

“I trust Mullvad 100x more than my ISP, so it's a good decision to use Mullvad and it benefits my privacy.”

“Mullvad also accepts anonymous cash in an envelope, which should be simple enough even for Luddites”

“mullvad stopped providing port forwarding due to the abuse and the effects a single-digit percent of their users was having on the other 90+% of users.”

“A reputable VPN provider that offers a pretty reliable service and has every indication of having a competent security team is worth something in itself”

“It's also worth saying it's possible to use Mullvad entirely anonymously by mailing them cash, which I do.”

“You guys did a fantastic job at designing a genuinely good and trustworthy (as much as possible) VPN vendor.”

“The judge permitted people to take a fine-tooth comb to Mullvad's infrastructure and no logging was found”

“Mullvad operate completely stateless nodes, which was confirmed several times when law enforcement tried to access their logs.”

“one of the least-terrible (not even in the same ballpark as the likes of nordvpn, etc) commercial vpn service providers in existence”

“allows anonymous accounts, allows payment in cash and via other methods that don't link PII to the transaction”

“Changing your acc number every other month and paying anonymously is much easier on Mullvad than on the ISP level.”

“The gov't can force them to reveal any user's data and slap them with a gag order so no one will ever know this happened.”

“I do really wish they still provided port forwarding, I understand why they don't but that was really useful”

“I do subscribe to Mullvad via Tailscale. So, I'm thankful and appreciative that they did their due diligence and partnered with a reputable provider. I've been very happy with the service.”

“Mullvad is nice because you can just put money on the meter when you are traveling to locations that make it necessary.”

“Startpage, DDG, Brave, Ublock, NextDNS, Proton, Mulvad, and all those similar companies and OSS exist literally because people were infuriated at the Big Tech bait-and-switch tactics”
