Doesn't this just move trust from mullvad to obscura?
- mmooss 2y agoThe concept is that Obscura knows who you are, but not what you are doing. Mullvad knows what you are doing but not who you are. Your trust is that Obscura and Mullvad will not collude.

- pacomerh 2y agoFrom what I understand they're dividing both identity (IP address) and browsing activity. Mullvad sees your browsing activity but not your identity, and Obscura sees your identity. So no single provider has full visibility into both who you are and what you do
