ProtonMail payment data reportedly used by FBI to unmask anonymous Stop Cop City account
Disclaimer: This is not meant to be victim blaming, I think what happened to the person here is terrible. This was an opsec mistake, Proton Mail gives you the option to pay via cash by mail, if you know you're an activist who could be targeted, make use of that option. Your IP address could still le

(TW: graphic) U.S. passport revoked for trans asylum seeker fleeing violence
One of the most disturbing stories I have ever read. I'm happy she's safe now. Y'all need to learn how to do privacy now. https://tools.techlore.tech https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools Those same sites have some educational info as well. Privacy Guides makes it a lot easier to find that for them

VPNs if you want to swtich from Proton or Mullvad
IVPN is the likely option. It's in the same top-level option alongside Mullvad / Proton. After that, I don't know. Is Windscribe better than Nord/Surfshark for example? I agree on NYM. It's a new take on things. I've also been looking into vpn.net but, both NYM / VPNnet feel untested. I'm not smart

For those thinking of switching to Mullvad from Proton after the recent controversy, you might want to read this
To make it easier to read, I'm just roughly quoting most of the article in English: "Mullvad's founder Daniel Berntsson was the one behind the donation to the populist Örebro Party, which supports 'comprehensive remigration.' 'It is sad that it is necessary,' Berntsson told Flammen." "5 million [SEK

Why is proton so hated now
I already hated them after the scandal with protonmail years ago. Glad I didn’t get sucked into their whole ecosystem. I prefer Tuta, IVPN, Mega Cloud storage, KeepassXC, and LibreOffice as an alternative to all their platforms.

Why is proton so hated now
Girl, I got bad news for you about Mullvad. Their co-CEO personally donated 5 million SEK to a far-right party in Sweden. Info came out about it on Friday, but the short of it is that he single-handedly financed 72% of their income last year, which enabled them to push for the national parliament th

They seem most similar to BSW (in Germany), or George Galloway's party in the UK, but the distinction between Nazbols and Nazis is academic. I've seen Privacy Guides recommend Mailbox, despite not having zero-access encryption. They still might be worth checking out. Their UX is far from Proton's, b

Not great to see the amount of rhetorical gymnastics all over these comments attempting to position a party that wants mass deportations of immigrants as just normal mainstream guys. Anyway, I can recommend IVPN (the third VPN provider that gets a Privacy Guides recommendation). Maybe tomorrow some

I need a good VPN.
ProtonVPN free ➝ Free, Unlimited data. Windscribe free ➝ 10 GB per month data but faster compared to ProtonVPN free. Mozilla's Proxy extension ➝ Only available in USA, UK, Germany, France as of 17/04/2026. 50GB/month limit. Mullvad or IVPN ➝ If you can pay then these are the most private VPNs you ca

So not private?
Surfshark is owned by the same entity as NordVPN. They are associated with Tesonet, a company which has a data mining arm (OxyLabs). I would suggest you stick with the PrivacyGuides recommendations for VPNs, that is, Proton VPN, Mullvad, or IVPN: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/
