    I’ve heard good things about Mullvad, never heard of Amnezia. This coming from WhatsApp makes me immediately suspicious of both.

    Whatsapp, the Facebook property? They are telling people which VPN to use to bypass censorship? The same Facebook who censors anything critical of the US government? Yeah maybe they could you know just stop boosting the US government and tell the truth and we wouldn’t have to worry about censorship.

      Mullvad is widely considered the best VPN, so they’re actually not wrong on this one. Don’t take it from Meta, there are tons of other unbiased sources on this.

        Agreed. Sadly an endorsement from Meta and/or it’s various subsidiaries is more of a condemnation than any criticism.
