  • this is awkward i am sorry it seems like my memory failed me, for one it is was mullvad and obscura that have a deal, not nymvpn…

    and then i also thought somehow that vpns are in sweden protected by the constitution, but it appears its more like normal laws. Which appear to be effective tho. But mainly i thought about that recently switzerland was proposing laws like this https://tuta.com/blog/switzerland-surveillance-plan (possible that laws like these get proposed in sweden aswell ofc) which makes it sound like the privacy stands of the goverment is not that strong anymore, but there are probably no effects really at the moment. I think i would rank sweden and switzerland equally i guess, i mean the famouse mullvad example kind of proofs that they are safe i think…

    But like my research into the countries is not that deep, so if you really looked into this deeply and switzerland is really better for some reason, than i guess it is like this.

    But i still think the age is important, like sure its completly possible that an old vpn suddenly gets infiltrated or idk what really, but since for vpns are mostly trust based, i think that the track record is the best option for this… and new vpns just dont have that long of a record (personally i would not use like a 1 month old vpn for example, whoever good it sounds)

    or can nymvpn offer garantuees similar to tor?

    I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category

    and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that, considering this is nymvpns biggest flaw… still hard to say how trustworthy it is + their software is less battle tested

    (and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad sry i mixed that up obscura and mullvad had partnership, not nymvpn)


  • well personally i dont think youtube premium is that bad, considering like it is not really that expensive (i mean compared to my time on youtube then, or like compared to the scam of having to pay for playing online on xbox), and the creators do get money from it

    But like i stopped because i did not want to give google and youtube anymore money because the app had so many things that annoyed me, things that had to be bad on purpose, and like i dont want to pay someone that makes things shitty for me on purpose.

    so blocking vpns generally is just another step for them in keeping making things worse j guess
