I've cancelled my subscription yesterday, conveniently it was about to renew at the end of the week, so I have a few days to migrate from Proton, here's what I'm thinking of, but I'd love to hear what other people are switching to

Please someone provide me a alternative that has been proven by being raided, has no account system, and let's you pay by mail and crypto.

I don't want to use mullvad VPN but as far as I can tell I'm stuck here.

iVPN

I did a quick review of my options and landed on ivpn too.

I thought obscura sounded interesting but it's us based and requires mullvad alongside it.

What puts me off using iVPN is their jurisdiction. They're based in Gibraltar which is a British territory and the UK isn't great for privacy. Maybe they have different privacy laws in Gibraltar?

if you don't give them any info then their jurisdiction doesn't really matter. It might mean they'll get shut down eventually, but it's easy to move to a different VPN then.

Ty will look into it

You could use Nymvpn. They can't log it even if they want to thanks to the decentralyzed architecture

Didn't the mullvad owner donante a ton of money to an extreme right party in Sweden? Or was that the tuta guy?
