I’ve been a Mullvad user for probably about a year but I’m considering Nym.
Editing for further context: their board includes Chelsea Manning which bodes well, I like that they use decentralized nodes, and that all of their code is open for review. The $NYM stuff is a little weird, but to me it comes off like an attempt to decentralize currency, which can anonymize in its own way (with an asterisk). Just not sure what that landscape looks like, since a person’s identity can often be figured out by looking at the public ledger. I’m still learning about Nym though.
Interesting, I have never heard of them. Honestly my first glance is I don't like their website. It looks way too investor/shill heavy which worries me about the longevity/future of the platform.
I like the concept of a decentralized system if they can promise reliability and privacy across all nodes I am concerned about how privacy will be retained when a node is established in an external country that has more restrictive government controls.
I heavy dislike the fact it auto renews. That right there is a huge red flag for me because that means whatever payment information I provided, is being stored in a way that it can be linked directly to my account. With Mullvad once the 30 day window is up, they toss the payment token so it's no longer associated/linked with the account, instead relying on you to have to provide a piece of info that they can connect to the account if you have account issues. While they can say that they don't link accounts to activity, I heavily dislike the potential that it could be done in the future, especially since they are very upfront about it being blockchain so that tells me the information is permanent/never removed.
I am not a mullvad user, but I recently found https://njal.la/. Curious if anyone has used it before and their experience
Yep, I've been using AirVPN for about 6 months now. No complaints, works great! (Yes they support port forwarding.)
And works with gluetun! https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/airvpn.md
I'll definitely be renewing when my year is up.
I use nym. Works well in my experience, though my Linux experience hasn't been the best. I run a hardened system though, so take that with a grain of salt.
I've heard good things about this service. Haven't tried it myself though.
I am also looking for alternatives to Mullvad, and my current leading contender is AirVPN
I use OVPN. They own their own hardware and are basically the same as Mullvad in how you manage the account. Their Linux GUI clients are broken in Wayland but you can use the terminal or save your to the network manager.
Way back, I used to use cryptostorm.is They had an interesting way of separating your payment of the service from the actual use of the service. Where you buy tokens, available from third party vendors even, and then you can use those tokens to authenticate to the vpn service.
Not sure how unique that feature is compared to other providers, I haven’t felt the need to run one in a good while. Also don’t know if they’re still legit or not.
If someone else has some insight on them I’d be interested it hearing!
