The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

Anybody know of a VPN service that

  • Allows port forwarding (i.e. you can run a bittorrent client and accept incoming connections)
  • Allows connections using the Wireguard protocol
  • Doesn't have Israeli ownership
  • Isn't owned by fascists
  • Has exit nodes around the world, with a decent number of options and good speeds

So far, the ones with major problems are:

  • Mullvad is out because of pro-Fascist ownership.
  • CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, ExpressVPN, and Intego are owned by Kape Technologies which is Israeli

I'm unsure about the whether airvpn is owned by fascists but it seems to fit the rest of your criteria and at least on paper is italian

[-] cmc@lemmy.zerolabs.sh 3 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed. This is what I use for my bittorrent server.

You know I hear this thing called nord I'm sorry I can't finish without laughing

[-] Ethanol@pawb.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

NORD VPN! To protect your phone from being hacked because surely that's what a VPN does! BUY NORD VPN NOW!

What is it about them that's especially bad?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Bad? Nothing really that I've experienced (because I have no experience) I just like joking about the pervasivenesss of their ads. They're the VPN Shen Yun, so I keep expecting to hear about them being associated with a cult.

Njalla is owned by Peter Sunde and almost fits the bill.

Minus the exit nodes around the world.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

njalla censors queer voices and holds their DNS hostage for it. njalla is not to be trusted.

i cannot comment further on the specifics here sadly but I will never give njalla a single fucking penny, personally

[-] bold_omi@lemmy.today 11 points 3 weeks ago

I can't find any information on this. Can you provide a source?

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

please re-read my comment in its entirety.

[-] bold_omi@lemmy.today 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I do not see a reason you could not discuss this. However, am not asking you to discuss it. I am asking for a source.

If you cannot back up your claims or provide a source which can, I have to disregard your post as slander. I don't want to do that if you are being honest. I am only asking for intellectual responsibility on your part.

IVPN is good. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/#recommended-providers

Idk how this Airvpn suggestions are popping up. Never even heard them before.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've heard of them, but I don't know much about them.

As for IVPN:

IVPN previously supported port forwarding, but removed the option in June 2023. Missing this feature could negatively impact certain applications, especially peer-to-peer applications like torrent clients

[-] Sniatch@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

So it's the same as Mullvad, because they also removed it in 2023.

What's the problem with Gail Slater?

[-] bold_omi@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

ProtonVPN qualifies in my book under these guidelines, but different people are more or less stringent with what they'll tolerate on the fourth requirement you specified.

[-] coffeewithalex@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

When you smell something bad when you're next to someone, it's probably them.

When you smell something bad when you're next to anyone, it's probably you.

When you smell some bombs all around you, it's probably Trump and Netanyahu

Completed the rhyme for you 😉

[-] amos@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think AirVPN fits that criteria, no?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

@amos @merc @grok fact check these. Search.

[-] FoxtrotDeltaTango@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago
