I used Mullvad for a long time, but hearing about one of the two CEOs actively supporting and financing swedish Nazis, I'm looking to put my money elsewhere. That's the second one after Private Internet Access (who supported Gab).

I had AirVPN and Surfshark being recomnended, how do people here feel? What do you use?

Being in the proton ecosystem I use their VPN, and it's been working great thus far.

Same here, haven't had any issues with the free version so far.

Weird to say Proton is the lesser of the two evils, but not by much.

Mullvad donated to a actual right-wing fascist party.

Proton's owner complimented the US government and gave away customer data.

proton is purple google, an ai company, manipulative and dishonest on social media, and proudly right wing.

This article breaks down the Proton controversies. I believe this comment overly abstracts them, but read what actually happened yourself: http://thoughtportal.org/2025/02/26/proton-mail-says-its-politically-neutral-while-praising-republican-party/
