I've just seen this.

Do you know any good alternatives?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I moved to AirVPN after Mullvad shut down port forwarding and haven't had any issues. It's run by privacy activists.

Can second this

[–] pirate2377@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

iVPN is the the best alternative if you want something as powerful as Mullvad. It's a bit slower though

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

iVPN looks good

[–] doctorflynt@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

can confirm. is good.

ProtonVPN if you can stomach one CEO once praised trumps choice of some anti euh oligopol(?) lawyer.

[–] pirate2377@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you already use Proton Mail, I strongly recommend against using ProtonVPN because you're coupling yourself too hard to Proton. At least, if your threat model is high risk

What if I just torrent shit occasionally? Am I good? I like proton’s services a lot for the convenience which is a no no on here but I am a lazy fuck.

If you just use VPNs to torrent stuff, then that's fine. I'm just saying that if your threat model makes you a target to let's just say the CCP for example, then coupling Proton's suite with their VPN is a bad idea

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I don’t do anything that makes me a target so I’m all right

If I'm going to move away from mullvard because a high up funds populists I'd rather avoid that too.
