I’m curious as to what HN’s VPNs of choice are.

I personally use IVPN and Mullvad.

Mullvad for me. I'm very happy with their offering.

For Indians, mullvad and others will not be available soon.

New order require mandatory logging and storage of customer details for 5 years for digital infra providers post June.

ProtonVPN because I already have a Protonmail account and they don't sponsor podcasts (as far as I know).

My own digital ocean droplet. Its easy to set up and get going, costs only $5/mo, and with all of my other droplets bandwidths combined I effectively have unlimited bandwidth.

Only ever use it on public wifi, and it isn't meant to be "private", just good enough to prevent accidental data leakage at Starbucks/doctors' offices/wherever else my 5g doesn't reach and I'm forced onto public WiFi.

I wonder how they plan to impose compliance on entities that have no legal presence in India, accept cryptocurrency payments, and take no PII as part of the signup process - all of which I believe apply to Mullvad.

They are gonna ban self custodial wallet which are rare in India anyway. So exchange will monitor and KYC anyone you transfer crypto coins to.

Impose a penalty on the citizen side as well.
