    I don't understand the point of this.

    Many (if not all) of the benefits on the landing page are available in Mullvad too, which is a more mature and reputable product, has all clients fully open-source, and powers the exit servers for Obscura.

    Why should I choose this over Mullvad?

      Because its CEO is known as the sponsor of the Orebro party?

        I still don&#x27;t see the relevance. Modern purity politics is silly. Is there a conflict of interest for Mullvad? If not, I don&#x27;t see the issue.

          Many people also don&#x27;t see the relevance of reducing reliance in services from Russian companies or using Chinese software for critical matters either. Newsflash, not everyone has the same opinion.

            That&#x27;s a slightly different thing. Individuals versus country. This is a company not an individual.
