I used Mullvad for a long time, but hearing about one of the two CEOs actively supporting and financing swedish Nazis, I’m looking to put my money elsewhere. That’s the second one after Private Internet Access (who supported Gab).

I had AirVPN and Surfshark being recomnended, how do people here feel? What do you use?

        he could be a rational human about it and see that it’s bad for the brand. considering he was willing to work with a guy that actively dislikes what he did he may have a few braincells left.

          That kinda seems unlikely to me. I’m certain that he’s aware that supporting ethnic cleansing (albeit not overtly violent) is not compatible with having customers.

            He has most likely purchased himself control of, or at least a position within a right wing party. There is no coming back from that. For Mullvads sake he needs to move on, and soon.

            they don’t tend to see it like that from my experience. but yeah the chance is slim.

        I think “would take a lot” might be understating it.

        It’s likely he’d have to be bought out by the other guy with an attractive offer.

          Or the other owner (Fredrik Strömberg) splits off and sets up his own vpn… Strömvad, or Mullberg, or MullStröm
