Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntason donated 452k euros to the fascist ร–rebro 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"

    Use AirVPN. It's activist led from the start.

    Feels like you canโ€™t turn over any rocks these days without seeing fascists scuttle off back into the darkness.

    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.

    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

    Just installed grapheneos last week and saw IVPN in the Accrescent store. Seemed interesting as I am running low on mullvad time. What a fun synchronicity

    Proton VPN also exists. Swiss, though.
