Just installed grapheneos last week and saw IVPN in the Accrescent store. Seemed interesting as I am running low on mullvad time. What a fun synchronicity

Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntason donated 452k euros to the fascist รrebro Party in Sweden which made up 72% of the party's total funding in 2025. This political party wants to deport non-white citizens and immigrants guised under the white nationalist euphemism "remigration"
Feels like you canโt turn over any rocks these days without seeing fascists scuttle off back into the darkness.
My mullvad subscription was up for renewal yesterday. Guess who gave 80$ to ivpn instead.
People on that Little Rock are gonna be stoked!
Use AirVPN. It's activist led from the start.
Oh this is so disappointing! Now I have to find a new provider ๐
ProtonVPN is really good, just FYI (no they are not supporting MAGA, common let that lie die).
I have read so much into Mullvad thinking that I did my due research however companies can hide their skeletons pretty well before they surface.
I'm an AirVPN shill cuz I like their service, but if you take a look and like it too, you will save a bit of money compared to mullvad :)
Someone in a privacy sub mentioned to me, that a refund may be possible, if you are uncomfortable with this situation. Did not try it by myself, but I probably will in the next days.

Edit: Got my refund.
it worked for me, they refunded me the remaining days in my subscription without problems.
Which payment method had you used? They donโt offer refunds for all of them according to this support page
I used credit card, sorry didn't mention that.
No need to apologise. Thanks for answering :)
Nice to hear that!

The flag carrier of, uh, port forwarding lol
But aren't they headquartered in the US?
Never heard of ivpn, is it comparable to Mullvad?
iVPN and Mullvad are usually the two go-to mentions when somebody asks "what is the best VPN?".
There are many comparison reviews and sometimes there are one or two others thrown into the mix, most common one I've seen is protonvpn, but others may have seen different
I'd say so, yes. The main differences are that the pricing is a little different ($6 per month, rather than โฌ5), the service is based in Gibraltar (a non-UK British Overseas Territory), and it doesn't offer as many anti-censorship features (just V2Ray over TCP or over QUIC).
Personally, I like it.
Friendship ended with.. wait,were did VPN Area go?
Aw fuck. He died while I wasn't looking.
Proton VPN also exists. Swiss, though.
Seem to remember Proton CEO is a Trump supporter..
