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.

    I am aware of https://mullvad.net/en/blog/donation-controversy and https://dberntsson.info/2026/07/20/orebropartiet/ and

    • extreme right wing moniker seems a smear campaign against Örebro

    • the company has nothing to do with private affairs of the founder

    This whole campaign smells of something intelligence services would do if they’re facing a problem they can’t make go away another way. And it is actually working because of people like you, who amplify this attack.

      It definitely is an extreme right party, and the founder’s riches are a direct result of the company’s success.

      Nope, looking at that post, it looks like a far right party blaming poor people and PMC instead of their real enemies (the ruling class internally and the United States externally). The founder describes themselves as a libertarian anarchist and supports a far right party, mega shocker there, but pretending it’s a smear is false. Just be honest and say you don’t care if you don’t care, don’t try and fool those of us who suffer from the effects of fascism that this isn’t a fascist movement.

        I am getting tired of everyone being called fascist. Because if everybody is a fascist, then nobody is.

        I’m basing my choice on technology and personal recommendation of people I trust who know the owners.

        All this loud thread just confirms this is an attack based on spurious reasons.

      They give him money. He uses that money for bad.

        So you are attacking my character rather than correcting me? That doesn’t work. Please provide your backing information.

          Wait what lmao? Do you know how claiming things work? You made a claim now back it up. I don’t have to prove the opposite, that’s not how any of this works.
