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.
I switched to Xeovo, works great so far. Winscribe was a no after this: https://x.com/Windscribe/status/1991176084662964688
Why would you migrate from Mullvad?
The CEO donated money to a Swedish party that is for remigration/deportation.
There’s Proton, but given the controversy… yeah (though I did look at what they donate to and it seems to not be right-wing companies).
IVPN is perhaps your best bet.
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.
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.
Proton also keeps leaking information to the government that led to protesters getting arrested

proton is privacy greenwashing
How so? i know only about the CEO saying stupid things. But the technical aide?
proton are an ai company, and an email provider. do the math there.
I had a 2 year subscription with them, using their vpn and email. I stopped using them after approx 6 months of product use, customer support, and paying attention to their social media manipulation, and repeated lack of attention to product quality. Throwing away the other 18 months of subscription.
They are a very dodgy company, trying to be the next google, which is ironic considering how many canadian patriots are now heading there due to trump/google.
Their brand is very popular with their zombie fans who struggle to think, but are very quick with upvotes, and downvotes.
You’re pretty vague for a “non-zombie”. What’s the issue with being an email provider? Also, they have an AI chatbot, I’m not sure they’re training any models, and I don’t know of any issue they’ve had with that product. Lastly, define them being a “dodgy” company.
I believe I made it obvious I wanted going to bother dealing with proton fanboys again?
People can make their own minds up by paying attention, or they can just follow the crowd, not my problem.
I know you mentioned AirVPN only having an app on their website, but you can use it with the wireguard client (you just have to make the conf file names short enough and remove special characters to import them). This is how I personally use AirVPN on Android.
I tried adding their client via Obtanium, it didn’t work.
But man, that client looks so outdated. It looks like a kid’s idea of a website.
I don’t use AirVPN’s client, to be clear. I use Wireguard’s android app, and for desktop, I use wireguard as well. There’s no need for their client.
