    Nops, and I think that it’s a bad move to change their business model to be a VPN provider to a catch-all security related provider, also I only have the standard tie which don’t have the DNS, mail redirection or portmaster services.

    Furthermore, my threat model changed with the struggle for the independence of Catalonia, it put the state as my main adversary, and making them waste their time and resources with multiple subpoenas is a plus.

    I started using ivpn almost 8 years ago, and I believe the default setting back then was to not use accounts with usernames.

    Some of the key reasons I chose it at the time were port forwarding (this service was later discontinued), its open-source F-Droid application, the ability to configure the WireGuard connection on my Linux machine without the application (I never tried it), its commitment to user anonymity (zero logs, payment methods, etc.), external audits, and the fact that it wasn’t based in an EU member state (ivpn is a Gibraltar-based company).

    The last reason is that I live in the EU, which shouldn’t be a problem for those who don’t.

    Since then, I haven’t bothered to check how the VPN industry has evolved. Thanks for the thorough answer.

    No, I didnt’t say that. I’ve said:

    No, there is not an antifascist position on their statement. Only a ultracentrist position based on the reaction of their user base/market.

    See the original paragraph:

    I understand that they would have removed also the sponsorship of a feminist, vegan or antiracist that created discontent in their use base (by being feminist, vegan or antiracist).
