Where does Mullvad get all this engineering expertise? Most VPN hosts don't have the expertise of security researchers and protocol developers.
It's great that they work on these issues, but the organization is a mystery to me.
- davkan 2y agoMullvad has been around for a long time and was on the cutting edge of technology when public VPN’s were becoming relevant a decade or so ago. Since then they’ve managed to stay relevant despite not advertising or being affiliated with a larger platform. In my estimation their success is largely due to word of mouth and a perception of being a legitimate company with a serious interest in security and privacy in a market rife with scams and lies. I’d imagine that’s how they attract talent as well.

Anecdatum: I picked Mullvad because of strong recommendations from HN commenters on multiple threads.
