The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

Might be a dumb idea, but could a VPN be crowd-sourced? What if multiple people managed different instances, almost like a virtual coöp?

That's more or less what Tor is. Technically it's feasible, the issue is the amount and kind of trust between users and contributors that it requires.

The issue with Tor is that it's rather slow, since it passes through several nodes before it arrives at its destination (or leaves the network).

@strawberry_enjoyer42 @veniasilente You mean Tor?
strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 61d
Tor sucks for larger amounts of data though.

@strawberry_enjoyer42 @veniasilente NymVPN is decentralised too, but I still must learn about their privacy.

Ok mullvad is out. Same as proton VPN. Nord is shit. Any recommendations?
maam@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 61d
Check out IVPN
veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 60d
None that I've actually tested.
That said, Proton's free tier is decent enough and you are not paying them a dime. With any luck, you're actually costing them money.

Is this the same company that makes the browser mull?
RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 61d
No. Mull is discontinued and was made by DivestedOS. Ironfox is a fork of Mull.
Mullvad makes the Mullvad Browser with was made in partnership with Tor.
schnur@mementomori.social · 4 pts · 61d
@crazyminner Dont use mull, it doesn't get security updates anymore. Its Ironfox for a year+ now.
Mullvad Browser is Desktop only.
crazyminner@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 61d
Thanks for the suggestion, just installed it now.
veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 60d
Honestly I don't know. Isn't mull a fork of Firefox?

But I've also got some good news: they're quite tasty.

Limbs tend to come off rather easily. Heads as well. Just a bit of gravity does the work.
