I is… okay if you’re doing piracy or trying to watch foreign media. It will keep the eyes of your isp off you but hasn’t been under the extensive scrutiny that mullvad has (which is why it can be used for such a broad set of goals imo).
When I used it I ended up having to switch servers frequently, that was about three years ago though.
Seems like they have far fewer servers than Mullvad does, but at least they state who they're hosted with and it looks like they do have a multi-hop setup like Mullvad does. They undergo annual audits so I'm not seeing any major security red flags. I frankly would have stuck with Mullvad had they not pulled this shit, but I won't be made a hypocrite over this.
If you get spooked, don’t worry about being made a hypocrite. Your security is worth more than your moral purity.
