This is all very interesting. No disrespect to Mullvad but will there be any effort towards attempting to get such functionality standardized? In the past there was a XOR scramblin…

Have further information on potential malice by Private Internet Access or employees?

Considering past events such as this.[1] I think it is more likely that the F.B.I are aware of TAILS and its limitations against certain adversaries and choose not to comment. [1]:…

While supporting funding more nodes is a noble goal another concern I consider overlooked is the potential 'centralisation' of nodes e.g how a large number of Tor nodes are hosted …

I was under the impression the KPN attacker merely used a single-hop VPN service from his KPN connection and the investigators managed to correlate traffic-flows. Unfortunate that …

Realistically you cannot win against a resourceful adversary every time. But merely painting the situation through the lens of premature surrender is also a disservice. It will be …

One cannot remain private or anonymous from a state-level adversary indefinitely but throwing your hands up and dismissing it as impossible is also a fallacy. Details are sporadic …
