I’ve heard a lot about AirVPN, but it doesn’t have an app on Fdroid or anything. Yes you can download it directly from their site, but that is a little cumbersome.

Another option I’m considering is Windscribe.One major knock against it (and the same thing for AirVPN) is that htere is no tutorial available for installing the wireguard version on openwrt.

I really don’t know enough about these. Windscribe has been sort of tested in court (again that was in Greece, and they don’t have the same might of an authoritarian state as the US or some place), so that’s a plus.

I don’t know, I’m so confused that it sort of makes sense to stick with Mullvad at times.

    Proton made one positive comment about some Trump anti censorship policy. Their “controversy” is really overblown.

    Mullvad is directly donating to Nazis.

    That said Proton doesn’t have the same extreme privacy as Mullvad. But they are much cheaper with promos and also have good app support.

      Proton also keeps leaking information to the government that led to protesters getting arrested

          It is for people who want to not get arrested, especially when the alternatives don’t have the same level of neglect that Proton does (and some of them have a proven track record of not leaking information). IVPN and AirVPN at least accept Monero so I’d trust them more

      A Mullvad founder and co-owner donating to Nazis is NOT Mullvad directly donating to Nazis.

        No, but it is Mullvad customers money going directly to funding an obviously far right party.

        The co-owner is very much the major funder of that party.

        Honesty is really easy.

        OP asked for options, not for this debate to go around in circles again.
