I used Mullvad for a long time, but hearing about one of the two CEOs actively supporting and financing swedish Nazis, I'm looking to put my money elsewhere. That's the second one after Private Internet Access (who supported Gab).

I had AirVPN and Surfshark being recomnended, how do people here feel? What do you use?

Have we really reached a point in which we have to stick with the "least bad" option? I don't like this.

No, we haven't. There are several good alternatives.

Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp. We've been there for a while. People suck.

The lesser evil is what a lot of duopoly voters goes for, the concept isn't new, even though it is of course ridiculous.

It's been this way since choosing who to buy copper from in Mesopotamia, probably longer.
