I’ve heard a lot about AirVPN, but it doesn’t have an app on Fdroid or anything. Yes you can download it directly from their site, but that is a little cumbersome.
Another option I’m considering is Windscribe.One major knock against it (and the same thing for AirVPN) is that htere is no tutorial available for installing the wireguard version on openwrt.
I really don’t know enough about these. Windscribe has been sort of tested in court (again that was in Greece, and they don’t have the same might of an authoritarian state as the US or some place), so that’s a plus.
I don’t know, I’m so confused that it sort of makes sense to stick with Mullvad at times.
Privacy and anonymity are two different things. Proton doesn’t market themselves as anonymous, they market as a privacy service, as you said. And as for the info given to gov’ts, they were legally required to do so. No company, including Mullvad, will break the law for you. Mullvad/IVPN/AirVPN, etc, will all abide by law and give up info if required.
Yet anonymity is one of the main points of VPNs
That’s your personal opinion. It’s fine to view it that way, but you can’t assume that literally every single vpn user thinks the same way.
it’s the opinion of a large number of VPN users, not just me personally, and their practices are still clearly dogshit compared to ones like IVPN. And on the topic on privacy vs anonymity, the fact that they can’t keep users’ payment info private seems like a privacy issue as well.
Sure buddy.
