Is express VPN ok as an alternative or am I a dumbass?

It's what I use, but I heard it was bought by a shady company a couple years ago. I'm afraid to check. It is or was one of the most secure and verifi3d provider around and resides outside the 5 and 14 eyes network.

The company has gone with big profits in recent years through the sale of so-called VPN services, which make it possible to surf anonymously. In 2024, the company had a turnover of SEK 314 million.

Very incompetent author, includes misinformation.

Is it really that bad? It is a so-called VPN service. I call it that all the time. And they accept anonymous funding through cryptocurrency. I'm not fluent in Swedish Chef, but all this information seems more than accurate enough for me to trust the rest of the article.
