Yeah i hate when I see people using Brave, because they have been brainwashed.

Does anyone remember when they were injecting their own referral links into links for online stores (99% certain they did this pls prove wrong if you know better)? This alone leaves them with 0 trust in my books.


Sadly, using small niche VPNs that might be more trusted makes you stand out more.

This probably doesn’t matter does it? Because being spotted as a mulvad, airvpn, etc user doesn’t make you more of a target for anything.

It just means that if they try to trace your connection back to you, they won’t find anything out, because you have a trusted zero-logging vpn.

Only think I could see is it could potentially be easier to track usage through the ip and assume it’s one person, but idk you could do that with anything if you look at the request timings, etc. It’s still just guesses.

Am i missing something?

It’s pretty unusual to have a Mullvad user on your server

Probably not on the usual sites people visit (youtube, etc, the big sites 99% of ppl go to exclusively), but I can see your point for any smaller site.

Because 5€ for their current service is overpriced

Airvpn provide a discount for each extra month you sign up for in bulk which is nice. It’s a great service in my opinion.

https://airvpn.org/ is a great option that is still privacy friendly and allows port forwarding. Still niche if you care about that, so may not be for you.


I believe in the underlying message (use linux), but doesn’t practically every big company change their privacy policy or tos every 10 minutes.


I don’t trust any governmental body, probably for the best.



I believe their license (GPLv3) doesn’t permit modifying the source code without releasing it to anyone who asks for it, but realistically, if it’s only code they have written, they won’t sue themself over it.

I’m no licensing expert, but that’s how I see it.
