I recently took a new look at the VPN market because of this and because my subscription was nearing empty. So many providers are untrustworthy. I narrowed it down to Mullvad, Proton and iVPN, where iVPN would be the most ideal (no political drama yet)… But then I read complaints about the speed from their servers. I ended up buying more time with Mullvad, but I’m not thrilled about it so if anyone has different experiences or insights please share.
Might want to be aware that if you give money to Mullvad, some of it ends up funding the far-right in Sweden: https://www.theregister.com/software/2026/07/21/some-mullvad-vpn-customers-tunnel-for-exit-after-co-founder-donates-millions-to-populist-party/5275012
Similar story for Proton with the far-right stuff: https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-trump-republicans/
Yeah that’s not even close to the same story.
