Oh, word? Aren't Mullvad the same guys that got raided by police and didn't have anything to give as well? Perfect timing, my old VPN was running out.

Personally, I would like to thank Mullvad for donating to Örebro. It is giving me the unexpected pleasure of seeing the political left twist themselves into a pretzel trying to explain how the party is simultaneously conservative, fascist and Marxist.

The Örebros sound like commies from a hundred years ago. The early 20th century communists of pretty much everywhere but the USSR and Germany are condemned as right wing by the present-day left/"left" (some of which calls itself communist, as a kind of stolen valor, as if they've ever read a book).

The old, "muscular" white commies are called racist, patriarchal, you name it, but rarely fascist, since that specifically meant anti-communist. But if you adopt old commie positions, you're a fascist. (First they call you a "workerist," then a populist, then far right, then...)

So "fascist" has wound up meaning something like anti-managerialist, and the managerial parasite class is "the left," Our Democracy™, etc.—a meta-political righteousness that sits in judgment of all politics, like communism, which it claims and defends.

But if you're a communist, you're a fascist.

It's all very sane.
 
He made a private contribution and it caused some retarded leftist to sperg out? Literally who gives a fuck?
Mullvad has a proven record, they are a good company offering a good product. I don't have a stroke every time I have to use an Israeli-made instrument.

Insane case of tranny well poisoning. The party is not even vaguely right wing, let alone Neo Nazi. It is a leftist split from a social democratic party. Its leader helped African communist parties' campaigns. The "LITERAL Nazism" here is that they don't want their country to import millions of pajeet and nigger servants, and they want existing migrant criminals to go home.

So they are socialist, but of a more nationalist variety...

Hmmmm...
 
Bunch of faggots are so histrionic. I like how they are just repeating ad nauseum that the guy is a Nazi when they literally show ZERO proof. The closest I saw was some tranny on the mastodon whose explanation was "The support sending a 13yo born in sweeden to a different country because her parents aren't sweedish ergo NAZISM". The best part is that because Mullvad doesn't keep data they can't refund unless they just bought their time.

Reactions on the official subreddit are also great. A LOT, and I do mean A LOT of teeth gnashing and malding from people while also a lot of "I don't care" and quite a few chuds showing up to show support.


As a mullvad user I will continue to use it.

I'm sure you know this already given your apt tongue-in-cheek comment, but just in case anyone doesn't: there's absolutely nothing "Nordic" about NordVPN. It's a Lithuanian company, based in Vilnius. That's in the Baltics, an entirely separate (neighbouring) region of Europe.

Lithuania is in the EU and NATO, and while GDPR-compliant, it has:
  • A less mature civil society than Nordic states
  • Fewer institutional constraints on government surveillance
  • Membership in EU law enforcement and cyberdefence structures, which may pressure compliance with cross-border data access
This is materially relevant to privacy-conscious users.

The marketing is deliberately deceptive in implication, designed to exploit marketplace assumptions about “Nordic” identity, without committing legal fraud. It sits in the space between legal compliance and ethical misrepresentation, a tactic increasingly common in digital product markets where jurisdictional trust is a key differentiator.


Distrust in NordSecurity products, stemming from the deliberate manipulation of jurisdictional and cultural assumptions, is grounded in several defensible considerations:

1. ​

Ethical Misalignment

  • Branding that intentionally misleads by connotation, while staying within legal grey zones, reflects a willingness to prioritise marketing advantage over transparent disclosure.
  • For a privacy- and security-focused company, this signals a fundamental inconsistency: if they obscure the truth in their branding, why trust their claims about infrastructure, no-logs policies, or security auditing?


​

2. ​

Jurisdiction Matters in Security

  • VPNs and other security tools are jurisdictionally anchored: company headquarters, legal residency of employees, server locations, and cooperation treaties affect exposure to data subpoenas, gag orders, and surveillance mandates.
  • Lithuania is in the EU and NATO, and while GDPR-compliant, it has:
    • A less mature civil society than Nordic states
    • Fewer institutional constraints on government surveillance
    • Membership in EU law enforcement and cyberdefence structures, which may pressure compliance with cross-border data access

This is materially relevant to privacy-conscious users.



​

3. ​

False Branding as a Proxy for Corporate Culture

  • Deliberate misrepresentation at the marketing layer suggests similar possible behaviour at other layers: data retention claims, third-party audits, ownership transparency.
  • If a firm constructs a false identity to attract customers, it implies that strategic image management takes precedence over principled disclosure—a poor signal in the infosec domain.


​

4. ​

Alternative Providers Exist With Greater Transparency

  • Other VPN providers (e.g. Mullvad, ProtonVPN, IVPN) offer:
    • Clear jurisdictional transparency
    • Open-source clients
    • Independent audits with full publication
    • In some cases, cash-based anonymous accounts
  • These firms generally do not rely on misleading branding, and position themselves based on verifiable technical and legal advantages.


Conclusion:​


Distrust in NordSecurity products on the basis of exploitative, jurisdictionally misleading branding is a well-founded stance, especially for users who prioritise institutional transparency, legal clarity, and alignment between product claims and corporate behaviour. In security markets, branding ethics are not superficial—they’re indicators of systemic integrity.

Oh, and to top it off, Lithuania is a fucking faggotty NAFOid central place where people are so incredibly impolite, grumpy, and bad-mannered. Yes, I know it very well.

How long until the Swedecucks find a way to shut down mullvad permanently? They've already been raided at least once as far as I remember.

They go against everything the globohomos want. A VPN that is outside of their control.

I just asked NordVPN why they want to renew my sub at "full" (hilariously inflated) price when my current sub is at a "discount". Their reply was very vague - something like "well, the lower price is supposed to encourage you to use their services". Let's take a look (all prices include VAT):

- my current sub (1 year): 12 x €5,50 = €66

- if I paid for 1 month at a time: 12 x €15 = 180

- they want to resub me for €168

This is the main reason I want to switch to Mullvad because I don't want to support companies with business practices like that. Mullvad's single price policy is as fair as it gets.

Nord Security (parent company) are a nasty misleading fake piece of shit firm. Don't ever give them your money. The only decent product they have is Saily, anyway, and they bought that iirc.

For your use case, I recommend Proton VPN.
