I just tried Mullvad again on Android. It says "out of time" and that I have no more VPN time left on the account. I would have to "add time" (i.e. buy it). I thought Mullvad was free. I am not going to pay for it. Why would I when there are many free ones out there?
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.
