    i am very skeptical of most vpn companies, and while i haven&#x27;t looked too hard at obscura, it is worth noting the official partnership with mullvad (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mullvad.net&#x2F;en&#x2F;blog&#x2F;mullvad-partnered-with-obscura-vpn" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mullvad.net&#x2F;en&#x2F;blog&#x2F;mullvad-partnered-with-obscura-v...) which is certainly a positive signal

    side note: i really wish more companies did the no email + randomized account number flow. there is a certain popular &quot;pro-privacy&quot; product beloved by many here that requires an email address and refuses to offer a similar account number method, which has turned me off the product.

      Please don’t speak in riddles. Just say what you mean.

        They’re almost certainly referencing Signal.

          Signal is worse, with phone numbers, no?
