Is it really that bad? It is a so-called VPN service. I call it that all the time. And they accept anonymous funding through cryptocurrency. I'm not fluent in Swedish Chef, but all this information seems more than accurate enough for me to trust the rest of the article.

Yes, it doesn't take you much research to find out that it is impossible to achieve anonymity only through a normal VPN service. The technology doesn't allow for it.

Everyone who believes otherwise got deceived by cheap marketing lies from providers like NordVPN.
