Has anyone tried this out? I'm pretty new to VPNs and was wondering if this is a good alternative to other services that have been found to keep logs or use servers in countries that give in to record requests.

Looks untrustworthy on the face of it. Literally web site looks like shit and has ai looking mascots all over the place.

Description of their technology relies heavily on sgx enclaves which is a red flag. Didn’t even do more than skim it.

Costs more than mullvad, needs a subscription to get the best price and doesn’t take cash. Keeps more user information than mullvad.

Doesn’t seem to do port forwarding.

Us based.

Just about the only thing that would make it worse is kape.

Why would you not just pay cash for mullvad?

Just use mullvad.

it doesn't seem like they accept privacy-respecting payment methods and they keep a lot of user info. A lot of their stuff relies on sgx which is proprietary and not as secure as advertised. Their service is also pretty expensive.

I recommend mullvad. they have a record of keeping user data safe. Even when their offices were raided by police, they couldn't get any useful data. it's also not that expensive and they accept privacy respecting payment like cash

Same for proton

They also accept cash

And also crypto

proton is alright I guess. I have a hard time trusting them because they have given data over to LE before. However, the data that they gave was minimal.

Well, there's no such option "not giving ANY information to ANYONE".

But, IMO, Proton VPN and Mullvad VPN are the two real VPNs. The others either sell your data or have very sketchy things going on.
