    How does this prove Obscura and Mullvad can't just both gather tracking data and then just combine it on demand?

      and how is it better than just connecting to mullvad over nordvpn or something?

        (Carl from Obscura here)

        Other than the obvious hassle? XP

        If you connect to Mullvad over NordVPN:

        - You're giving both Mullvad and Nord some payment information (with Obscura you only give that to us, Mullvad has no idea)

        - You don&#x27;t get our QUIC-based obfuscation (see more here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obscura.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;bootstrapping-trust&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obscura.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;bootstrapping-trust&#x2F;)
