Earlier quoted context omitted.

They are not the best because they no longer support port forwarding. Their IPs are low quality and get you flagged as suspicious.

Can recommend https://njal.la if you still need port forwarding.

how does it compare to mullvad?

I once liked the EU. Well still do it because of the east to travel without borders. But it's leadership is something dangerous and may shape to some form of dictatorship or entity that does not serve its people. But a small minority consisting out of some large companies.

I think EU will manage without you liking it. But painting its leadership as the one trying to shape dictatorship is incredible ignorant.

Europe is preparing for the Russia invasion from one side, and betrayal by the US from the other.

A country serving small minority of large companies is the best description of the US, not the EU.

VPN is a trust exercise, but, I’m sure if Mullvlad isn’t the best out there, they’re far from the worst.

They are not the best because they no longer support port forwarding. Their IPs are low quality and get you flagged as suspicious.

They had to disable port forwarding due to abuse and spam iirc.

> Europe is preparing for the Russia invasion from one side, and betrayal by the US from the other.

Let's assume for a moment that would be true. And let's also ignore the lack of a nuclear weapons in most EU countries.

How does breaking encryption for normal people help? Spies and Operatives will just use PGP and ignore these laws, because that's what spies do.

Are you attempting to justify ChatControl with that situation? You might need to help us out with how you arrived at that exactly

To be honest, I think VPN businesses and specifically politically charged ones like Mullvad is doing disservice for the security of the country and specifically EU in this case.

I think the right course of action should be a political activism, not a technological one. Especially when the company doing it makes a fortune.

The course, when one can just disengage from participating in society by sidestepping the problems by either using VPNs in terms of censorship or by using Crypto in case of regulations is very dangerous and will reinforce the worst trends.

Finally such person will still have to rely on the community around for physical protection to live.

So instead of speaking from the high ground, please, tell us what your solution about mass disinformation happening from US social media megacorps, Russia mass disinformation, mass recruitment of people for sabotage on critical infrastructure.

Tell us, how can we keep living in free society when this freedom is being used as a leverage by forces trying to destroy your union.

I just want to remind you that dismantling EU is strategic goal of the US, Russia and China.

Please, give us your political solutions to the modern problems instead of earning a fortune by a performance free speech activism.
