I'm getting rid of Mullvad, because I don't want any of my money going to Nazis.

Any suggestions for an alternative? I'm pretty much insisting on paying (because "if it's free, you're the product", and this is supposed to be a privacy tool).

I like the cut of Windscribe's jib, but is it just cool marketing? Proton's a shaky one with their free and easy stance on giving governments access to people's email. Nord feels overhyped. What are the hot tips for simple unobtrusive VPN services?

تزايدت المخاوف بشأن خصوصية نظام ويندوز بعد كشف تقارير عن استخدام المعرف العالمي للجهاز التابع لشركة مايكروسوفت لتتبع نشاط المستخدمين. ورداً على ذلك، أطلقت شركة Windscribe أداة جديدة باسم deGDID تعتمد على برمجية PowerShell لإزالة بيانات هذا المعرف ومنع إنشائه مجدداً على الأنظمة غير المدارة. وتعتمد الأداة على تعديل ملف المضيف وقواعد جدار الحماية لحظر مسارات التسجيل ومسح هويات المستخدمين لتعزيز حماية البيانات ومنع عمليات التتبع بشكل فعال.

#Windscribe #Windows #Microsoft

just throwing my 2 cents into the #vpn choices and based on what i've looked at in the last few days.
(yes i'm moving away from #mullvad not in a cutting off my nose to spite my face sort of way)

i've looked at the following and i've decided not to go with : #ivpn, #windscribe

i also avoided #kagi (incidentally also partnered with ws with discounts) which has AI , based in US and a paid model that I suspect I'll still be the product even though I paid. Either way, i've tested the free search and I don't find it life changing great.

the ones that made the 'okay' list was : #njalla, #xeovo, #riseup, #airvpn

i wasn't able to find (easily) a list of server locations with #njalla,

njalla, riseup and xeovo needed some sort of tech knowledge to get started, and its not ideal as i needed to get this for the household and mobiles.

only airvpn was one of the remaining that may had dubious twitter past. but it was the only choice left that had the server location i needed, so this was where i eventually land. mind, airvpn requires you to register with an account, so if you are worried about this, it's not for you. i don't use them for anonymity.

tbh, if xeovo had locations and native app setup, i will jump on it. right now it just felt like a compromise.

@ms_zwiebel

I haven't settled yet on what's a decent VPN alternative, although my current frontrunners are Njalla (run by a co-founder of The Pirate Bay) and Nebula by Defined.net. Not sure about their politics, but distributed and Nebula is FOSS which is a positive signal, while not a guarantee.

What I've ruled out:
ProtonVPN - Actively working with government against activists
Windscribe - Transphobic indications
Mullvad - Funding a fascist leaning party

I'd love to hear anything people have learned about the alternatives, either pro or against. Boosts appreciated for reach.

أعلنت Windscribe VPN عن دعمها لخروج IPv6، مما يتيح للمستخدمين توجيه حركة مرور IPv6 عبر نفق VPN في المواقع المتوافقة. يمثل هذا تحولاً عن النهج السابق الذي كان يحظر IPv6 لمنع التسرب، حيث يمكن للمواقع الآن اكتشاف عنوان IPv6 الخاص بـ Windscribe. التحديث متاح حالياً عبر WireGuard في مواقع محددة مع الرجوع التلقائي إلى IPv4 عند الضرورة. يتطلب التحديث إصدارات معينة من التطبيق، ويوفر مزايا مثل الوصول إلى مواقع IPv6 فقط وتقليل مطالبات CAPTCHA وتحسين تطبيقات الند للند.

15\2\2026 - Dutch authorities physically took, without warrant, one of Windscribe VPN servers.

It was running on RAM only. No disks. No persistence. They booted it up and found the digital equivalent of the inside of Kim Kardashians head: emptiness.

The incident raises questions about the boundaries of surveillance, the role of VPNs in digital freedom, and the effort governments will make to circumvent privacy.

One of my first interactions with encryptions was PGP, by Philip Zimmermann

I wanted certain emails to be encrypted with a public private key pair combination

In reading Zimmermann, documentation I noticed that there could be something wrong.

Source code openness and other eyeballs were needed.

## We got that in openGPG

I've NEVER trusted closed source encryption schemes.

I sometimes also verify if the shadow that's following me is actually mine

It's a coordinated attack. Microsoft wants these programs to disappear from its ecosystems. No one has access to drives and systems which are encrypted with these programs apart from the owner.
