Does anyone here use #winscribe ? How was the experience so far? I was planning on switching to #MullvadVPN after the end of my #ProtonVPN subscription this year but I've recently found out about Winscribe (it's cheaper if I use their build-a-plan scheme). Thank you.
@watchfulcitizen @adisonverlice The problem is not @mullvadnet but #VPN|s in general.
People need to put realistic expectations into what #MullvadVPN and others like #Mullvad can and can't do, both technically and legally.
#ComSec, #ITsec, #InfoSec & #OpSec need to be interweaved!
Any decent @cryptoparty@chaos.social / @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth will advise you further...
Our MP is apparently leadng the way in trying to ban #VPNs boooooooooooooooo
But what I mostly like is that since the UK government has introduced an act for private companies to gather more data, that more and more people have looked into taking their internet privacy much more seriously.
You should use a #VPN for everything. Always.
We've used #MullvadVPN for many years now and highly recommend.
#OnlineSafetyAct -> Get a #VPN
But be careful who you use. I believe #MullvadVPN are one of the most trusted and careful providers.
Or use #Tor
voy a volver a intentar usar como predeterminado #mullvadBrowser en conjunto con #MullvadVPN
Für eigene Verbindungen die offizielle #Wireguard app verwenden. Alternativ evtl kleinere Projekte wie #WGTunnel https://github.com/zaneschepke/wgtunnel oder #RethinkDNS (was noch viel mehr kann). OpenVPN auch okay.
Alles andere ist Schwachsinn, Firmen sollen aufhören irgendwelche komischen proprietären Anwendungen zu nutzen.
Für verbesserte Privatsphäre #MullvadVPN #AirVPN #ProtonVPN #IVPN und erstmal keine weiteren.
Für Anonymität #Tor.
#VPN.s schleusen jeglichen Verkehr durch fremde Server!
Spain copies Italy's idiotic anti-piracy policies and screws up the internet for everybody (MITM Google services in this case) to kiss the football business' ass. Did somebody say @mullvadnet ?

España prohíbe annas-archive.org, la mayor #biblioteca #opensource del mundo sin ánimo de lucro, donde se pueden encontrar archivos de texto, estudios, documentos y #PDF de todo tipo, incluso #libros que están ya descatalogados a los que sería imposible acceder de no ser por ella.
Afortunadamente existen los #VPN, cada vez más necesarios en éste país. Recomiendo 100% #ProtonVPN o #MullvadVPN. #Proton tiene acceso a 3 países gratis.
”Enda sättet att hindra data från att hamna i fel händer är att inte samla in den.” @mullvadnet sprider klokt budskap i tunnelbanan.
My plan for 2025 is to move myself and my family off of big US #techbro systems as much as possible.
I’m currently testing:
- Mullvad VPN
- mailbox.org
- Digital Ocean VPS for self-hosting all the things.
It’s easy to move myself, but upending the family is harder and takes planning and time.
@kuketzblog ich blockiere bigtech über Filterlisten am Router und #nextdns außerdem habe ich #mullvadvpn im Einsatz

With my new Mullvad VPN I'm getting this error with YouTube:
"Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot."
Are there any Firefox plugins that get around this error?
I am a tiny bit concerned.
Using #MullvadVPN @mullvadnet on #GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS I need to disable GrapheneOS' default VPN protections to make split tunneling work.
I use that to prevent #Youtube from blocking me (poorly the good times are over it seems), and to have local network stuff (#RDP, #LocalSend, #KDEConnect, #SyncthingFork) work.
Are all these apps bypassing my VPN?? Or are they collecting data themselves and the system can access that?
The GB numbers indicate the latter?
Love this ad by @mullvadnet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYXITX064S0
(No, this is not a paid post. I’m not affiliated with Mullvad or any other VPN company. Mullvad doesn’t even offer a affiliate program, just the best VPN service for consumers. That’s worth a shout-out.)
If you’re looking for an EU-based alternative to AzireVPN since they’ve now sold to a US company (why, hello, Trump presidency, how goes?), see Mullvad VPN (@mullvadnet).
