Currently using IVPN, but considering switching and I want to see what this subreddit community thinks.
I don’t want to have to use their stupid little bloated software just to send and read E-mails in a client of my choosing.
I am not voting for that party after all, and choosing the best software for privacy is worth giving a few dollars to a fascist IMO. Yes, I checked that parties policies, and I disagree with (nearly) all their social policies (Racism AND Secularism!? Gross!), so don’t accuse me of sympathizing with them.
I am only giving them ~$5 a month, and I know every dollar counts, but a few 100k donations won’t cause the rise of fascism, it will be poor societal conditions and charismatic leaders telling the populace that those issues are caused by minorities.
Considering what my ISP is I think I’d trust any vpn with a FOSS client over them…
IVPN is smaller than mullvad so mullvad has more support in the form of more 3rd party packages. With the fascism thing I feel like just because the owner is problematic doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use the service, otherwise by far the majority of large and medium sized services would be unusable.
I mean, windscribe made that one ad w/ hitler in it…
I use mailbox.org because both proton and tuta do not support IMAP, which is generally needed to use a 3rd party client. Mailbox.org is also pretty cheap and is pretty private as far as the non-E2EE providers go. And in terms of E2EE it is going to be used so rarely that is basically doesn’t matter, the type of person that would use tuta/proton would probably be willing to setup PGP with you, and E-mail isn’t a secure communications platform anyways, so you might as well just use Signal, XMPP, briar, etc…
Prism Launcher is what I use, but also install the No Telemetry Fabric mod to reduce/disable telemetry in game (severs can still track you though)
The issue is I don’t care about the founders political ideology (Unless he is some Sieg Hieling Nazi and not just some stupid alt-right millionaire)
