Aside from "we trust Mozilla", what independent verification assures us that Mozilla is not, in fact, logging their VPN traffic?
- LeoPanthera 6y agoThis service is Mullvad rebranded, with restrictions. (Their custom app only.) Mullvad is a very widely trusted and respected service.
- jerrycruncher 6y agoTo add some detail, here, Mullvad allows the creation of accounts for which they truly have zero knowledge: an account number is generated on their site, cash is sent to their office in Gothenburg with a note containing the account number, and Mullvad will add time for that account commensurate with the amount received.
- Semaphor 6y agoIn addition to that, mullvad allows you (and encourages you) to pay them without them knowing anything but your account id. And your account ID is also the only thing there is to your account. No E-Mail, no password.
- john_alan 6y agoNever heard of Mullvad but seems amazing.
- kgwxd 6y agoI heard about them last time Mozilla VPN came up, I also happened to be looking to switch away from Librem Tunnel (PIA rebranded) so I went with Mullvad. It was easy to setup (on Linux) and is pretty fast, I usually forget it's even on.
- ksec 6y agoHow does that work? Wouldn't they still know about my credit card details and my Credit Card name? I have also never heard of Mullvad at all?
- Yoric 6y agoYou can pay in cash.
- kgwxd 6y agoMullvad cost the same, already supports Linux, and has availability in more countries. I'm not sure what the selling point is, it's literally just Mullvad but worse.
- bryanlarsen 6y agojust Mullvad but supports Mozilla. I'd choose Mozilla VPN for that reason. Or will, when they have Linux support.
- cassianoleal 6y agoMullvad is OpenVPN and Wireguard. The former has been on Linux forever and the latter is part of the actual kernel.
- oehpr 6y agoI dunno, any particular independent verification companies you would trust?
