    Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntason donated 452k euros to the fascist Örebro Party in Sweden which made up 72% of the party’s total funding in 2025. This political party wants to deport non-white citizens and immigrants guised under the white nationalist euphemism “remigration”

      iVPN and Mullvad are usually the two go-to mentions when somebody asks “what is the best VPN?”.

      There are many comparison reviews and sometimes there are one or two others thrown into the mix, most common one I’ve seen is protonvpn, but others may have seen different

      Another comparison review

    Someone in a privacy sub mentioned to me, that a refund may be possible, if you are uncomfortable with this situation. Did not try it by myself, but I probably will in the next days.

    Edit: Got my refund.

        It was a sponsored video. They apologized and cut ties with the YouTuber.

        I swear that some people here would burn anyone who isn’t a pure being of light.

    I can’t wait for everybody to agree on a new service only for that one to also be bad. I enjoy watching people fail to learn that it’s not possible for a commercial service to be uncorruptible. You can’t sell privacy in this world

    So let me get this straight. One of this companies CEOs donated a huge sum to a bunch of fascists, so now people are switching away from the service. Won’t that only hurt the staff and make people lose a excellent service, as if the CEO is wealthy they’ll be virtually untouched?
