Not sure why you deleted this but I just found out Mullvad doesn’t support open VPN which is a deal breaker for me because I use a few different apps via docker with their traffic routed through https://hub.docker.com/r/qmcgaw/gluetun
Someone else already talked about mulvad. But you can use wireguard with gluetun, but the configuration is a little annoying as you need to download the configuration file and grab the key from inside the file.
I don’t know much about Nord’s quality as a service, but I know that they really spearheaded the effort to spread misinformation on how Internet security works (claiming that a VPN would protect the information you enter into a website when HTTPS already does that) via YouTube ad reads. That alone is enough to make me swear off ever using them.
I’m under the impression https can be defeated by a man-in-the-middle attack if you’re not paying attention. Haven’t looked into it recently to be sure if that’s still the case or a solved issue, though. But that was one reason to use a VPN while on untrusted wifi, supposedly.
if you are using http yes, any modern website uses https, in most cases vpn will at least prevent dns hijacking (since unecrypted dns is still the default)
Obligatory fuck brave. What’s wrong with nord exactly?
NordVPN is good for getting around geoblocks, not so much for privacy
What’s wrong with Brave?
It’s backed by fascist psychopath Peter Thiel and it, at least for a long time, promoted a crypto scam as a main browser feature.

Gluetun works with wireguard configs.

Thanks. Will keep that in mind. I’ve spent too much on VPNs recently but when I near subscription lapse(s) I will strongly consider Mullvad.
I use Mullvad with Gluetun, works fine? I am currently using docker compose and container network mode for routing traffic through it
Ah that’s good to know. I think it may offer support via wire guard or something.
It does yes.

Also they’re spending just wayyyyy too much on advertising for my taste.
Lots of VPNs are actually owned by one company, like Nordvpn and surfshark are both owned by Nord security, lemme find the list…

No, I’m definitely talking about https. Could be this is no longer a thing tho, I need to look it up.
Urgh. I use Mullvad, it’s just 5€ per month and so far works great. I hope there’s nothing bad I don’t know about it. lol
They are the only VPN company with a clean record but personally only VPN I would trust is onion, garlic etc. kind of networks.
Mullvad complies to all legal requests!!
Which doesn’t matter since they’re properly setup for there to be nothing law enforcement can get out of them.
The only true and tested nolog VPN provider ever.
I thought PIA had ownership issues but had also been audited the same way?
