Afaik, they were forced to log and report IP addresses for the user’s mail logins.

They can’t do that for their VPN, though, so I’ve seen some people recommend you create your account through another VPN or via their Onion service, and then only connect with the VPN on.

This seems fragile at best, and isn’t helped by the fact the most anonymous payment option they accept is cash by mail, which is still quite traceable. They also take bitcoin, which is extremely traceable.

If they expand to accept Monero, I’ll reconsider, but for now I’m sticking with Mullvad. I use mailbox.org for mail, which does log IP addresses (for 4 days), but it is a separate account from my VPN so I don’t really care.

I’m also put off by their recent posts supporting the Republican Party. It is really strange for a privacy company to support authoritarians, and the addition of them leaving Mastodon but staying on Xitter doesn’t inspire much confidence in them.

Thank you ! I’ll go check that out 🙂

I wish I could seed but Mullvad doesn’t allow port forwarding, and ProtonVPN has given out IPs under court order so I don’t trust them for any purpose.

I’ll have to look into other VPNs I think, because I’m ideologically very much for seeding.

“Deadache” by Lordi ! I wouldn’t say it has their best songs, but it doesn’t have any definite “B-sides”, unlike most of their previous work.

( eg : is Hellbender Turbulence anyone’s favorite ? Dynamite Tonite ? I doubt that. Get Heavy is a much rockier listening experience. Some may even say it’s heavily front loaded.

Deadache has a bit of a slump in the middle but it’s picked right back up by the final third, especially the titular song and Raise Hell in Heaven )
