Maybe entities from the fediverse have heard something about the service ovpn? Apparently they are a service that, among others, service ThePirateBay. This made it interested and it had a deeper look... Especially since a court tried to sue them to get to TPB and failed... On the surface they do look quite nice (and they even release reports and a behind the scenes of their infra). But if anybeing can tell me more things about this company (if they are being run by assholes or sth like that) it would love to hear about that. Boosts are allowed (and encouraged) Thanks for any hints/recommendations! :neobot_cat_ears_heart_cybre:

@hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus why do you want to move from Mullvad?

@hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus We were using them for a while before switching to Mullvad (before the current situation), no major complaints about the service at least! (Well until the billing page refused to work properly which is when we switched, but I assume that's more payment processor crap than the VPN people themselves.) Careful on the billing page, they'll try to default you to the 2 year plan and charge you fuckloads of money, and /that's/ a little scummy, but. They've got Wireguard, I think they have other stuff like a static IP addon you can pay extra for (would be an interesting alternative to a VPS for a home server bounce point!), etc.

@hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus it's owned by some large VPN company that runs a lot of other VPN services so it's probably nothing special
