here is #mullvad's reply to my inquiry about this very bizarre accusatory rant/post/blog post. honestly hated to even ask my contact there to reply to something so obviously unwarranted, but looking at the comments, some people need to hear this. also, i will add that it is beyond not cool for a privacy education account to try and throw mullvad under the bus like that. mullvad is one of the best privacy services we have. period. #cybersecgirl #mullvad https://image.nostr.build/d4b1bb6ce2166dce630563d9b24f20649a869f4a826e42b207d3cd26d82ef50e.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=720x1194&blurhash=%5D37nOP%7Eqt6xuD%25IVRjRiRkt7D%25axj%5Dj%40t7W9ayj%5Dj%40t7M%7Bt7j%5BayWCM%7DRkWBt7oe9GM%7Bt7ofxuWAj%40ogWBWBImofxvj%3Fof&x=1e0068955367f8fe6a0f5ff6f67f4c05ec1809ec093798440cdb797d4a205bbc https://mullvad.net/en/help/using-encrypted-email nostr:nevent1qqstump4k34e5m2hnwt9ewhrj8awdjujyagvmlyvtwuh7svxkaeursgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyzkr76h7zavn7cvpq5fa4jdpu4zws7uuaydj05mm3rk937a2jq225qcyqqqqqqgmmvve9

nostr:npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 clarified in the comments that this was purely an ideological rant and was not suppose to be a critique on technical privacy grounds. He made it clear that it wad purposefully sensationalized to draw attention and provoke change. I still think it causes more harm than good by discouraging people away from perfectly good VPNs.
absolutely. i read your back and forth. the blog post is still up on their website. trying to get more followers with this kind of clickbait is not a good look. saying mullvad doesn't give a shit about user privacy is an irresponsible and unfounded accusation. most people will not read the whole article. implanting fud for followers is not the way. these kinds of shenanigans not only damage the reputation of the author of the account and site, they turn people away from the very services they should be using.
i read it. it's spin
you really going to try and walk this back rn after sommerfeld just went to bat for you?
you literally sais mullvad doesn't give a shit about privacy and government can take over your account if you use mullvad? then try to excuse it by saying "if you say i'm saying mullvad is compromised, you're twisting my words. that's spin. are you really going to try and walk this back rn after nostr:npub16r0tl8a39hhcrapa03559xahsjqj4s0y6t2n5gpdk64v06jtgekqdkz5pl just went to bat for you?
more spin
thank you. i'm all about sharing privacy and security and supporting those who do the same. i am (we are) saying, the article is spin and it throws mullvad under the bus in the process. one should assume email is compromised by default. you don't have to try to destroy mullvad's (well deserved) reputation to teach that. i am encouraging you to be more responsible in the future
all vpns do not use the same data centers.
#privacytechpro tip: you can connect orbot to tor on android #GrapheneOS without it taking up a vpn slot. connect to your always-on vpn ex: #mullvad or #proton as usual. be sure to use splittunneling to exclude apps that don't play nicely with a vpn from vpn traffic for best experience. open orbot, make sure 'start orbot on boot' and 'allow background starts' is ticked in settings. then manually connect via your notification or in the app now #orbot will auto-start and connect to tor while your always-on vpn stays connected #cybersecgirl #tor #vpn #guardianproject https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot

I had to enable "Power User Mode" in settings to make it work. That was a while back, though. Is that still the case?
yes, power user mode should be ticked
