What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don't know if they are any good.

I have 5 days left, looks like I'm not gonna renew.
I find the support of that political party pretty disturbing.

I think I am just going to use tor for general browsing. Mullvad IP addresses get blocked just as much as tor these days anyway.

On Android you can use InviZible Pro to get Tor, I2P, and DNSCrypt

Aaaaaaannnnnd just like that, I have a new toy to play with.

What an epic recommendation. Thank, I haven't heard of InviZible Pro before.

Had a bad experience with Nym. It's not compatible with GrapheneOS. It runs, but there's a data limit that in my experience kept getting artificially hit by the forming and breaking of connections that occurs when switching GOS profiles. Maybe this happens less on stock Android?

Regardless, I had to keep contacting their support for extensions. In 6 years, I haven't yet had to contact Mullvad support. It just works!

I experienced DNS leaks when Nym claimed it was 'fully' connected. Mullvad.net could 'see' where I was located. That's not considering that in general the connection with Nym was much slower than Mullvad. Nym offered me an extended free trial, but I haven't claimed it yet. Reckon they'll need another couple of years to iron out the obvious issues.

In summary, Nym felt like a very early prototype much more than a production-ready service.

I switched away from Mullvad when they killed port forwarding years ago. I have used AirVPN since and it has always been pretty good!

Is it the half finished software, the ai, the dodgy social media activity, the crap customer service, or the right wing ownership that attracts you to proton?
