IE like Crypto AG:

In 2020, it was revealed that the Swiss company, Crypto AG, which provided secure communications services to ~120 governments throughout the 20th century, was secretly ran by the CIA and West German Intelligence. The CIA and later NSA were able to read encrypted communications for many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Italy, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Jordan and South Korea.

My trust in them was definitely shaken after the recent news about fingerprinting exit IPs: https://tmctmt.com/posts/mullvad-exit-ips-as-a-fingerprinting-vector/

They were very responsive but this seemed like a huge fuck-up to me, to the extent that I question whether it was purposeful.

Not sure who else to trust because other providers like Proton seem even worse
