If you are not the customer, you are the product.

Pay for a VPN if you don’t want the VPN company to be complicit in tracking you.

And no, Mullvad is not free.

What guarantees do I have?

Any free VPNs could make it pay-to-use without changing a thing.

Having to pay for a VPN does not mean that it is more secure or whatever it is you are thinking. I could be a customer AND product at the same time.

  • To the commenter below:

    > They are regularly audited. This info is freely available. Plus they go above and beyond with collecting as little info possible.

    Again, what guarantees do I have? Info is freely available, yeah, just like it is freely available about the Earth being flat.

    > Educate yourself rather than make a cunt of yourself.

    Educate myself on what exactly? I do not trust anyone blindly when it comes to privacy. It is all just hearsay with nothing to back it up.

    The "cunt" part was absolutely unnecessary. Just because I am doing my own due diligence and you do not, and you blindly believing people, that does not mean I am a cunt.

    For the record, you failed to provide anything to the guarantees I have been asking about.

    So, until you do so, I will continue being a skeptic.
