Mullvad strongly believes that everyone deserves privacy, and their philosophy is that it’s their job to uphold that right. Today, CEO Jan Axel Jonsson runs the company. As they see it, allowing people to discuss and challenge topics such as laws, ethics safely, and cultural norms helps a free and open society flourish.īoth Mullvad VPN and Amagicom AB are fully owned by their two co-founders, who are still actively involved in the company. Mullvad VPN believes that privacy is a universal right and is fundamental to any well-functioning society. The name Amagicom, derived from the Sumerian ama-gi, means “freedom”. Founded by Frederik Stromberg and Daniel Berntsson, Amagicom AB and Mullvad VPN focus on protecting free communication and privacy through their virtual private network. Over the last half year it's done a good job.Ĭould it start to completely suck next week?: Sure.Mullvad VPN launched in Sweden in 2009 under its parent company Amagicom AB. At the same time I'm not religious about my tech choices. I'm especially impressed that they have some post-Quantum deployed on some of their Wireguard servers already. The way they are configured, and the flexibility offered, seems to indicate that they are doing what they say they are doing. All of the ones I've used work as intended (for my purposes).

So I switched over to the commercial VPNs.

And most Tor exit nodes are heavily blacklisted. And they don't give a pass to middleman nodes. But these days Tor can get your IP blacklisted on any number of block lists. My main goal is to circumvent my ISPs restriction on certain *legal* activities that they seem to frown on.įor instance I am routinely contracted to do remote penetration testing, make a surprise attack (with written legal release) on a client network, or do research "in the blind".įor years I simply used Tor. So I've used a number of VPNs over the years. First off, this review is probably from a different perspective than some VPN users.
