Mullvad controversy (self.privacy)
submitted 2 days ago by SomeOne to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Could someone fully explain the mullvad controversy. From my knowledge so far it seems like the cofounder donated to an alt right party and it's probably a bad sign for the company. Anything I'm missing?

pay cash

Ooo! I didn't know Proton accepted cash payments. But you are right. They do.

My proton is tied to me, b/c I didn't really care and it wasn't important to my threat model. But it's good to know they offer this. I was paying for Mullvad with cash. Since the whole thing has happened with Mullvad, maybe I'll open a cash paid Proton just for the VPN option.

I really wish Proton offered Wireguard tho. It's so much nicer than OpenVPN.
