VPNs

[AnOminous]

Mullvad used to but I remember it wasn't possible when I tried some time ago and emailed their customer support expecting it to be in an option I couldn't find.

They announced they were discontinuing it a couple years ago.

Mullvad is the homie, he's weird but he's chill

Seriously though, Mullvad is the only VPN I've used and I have no reason to switch
I am filled with joy when imgur blocks me from accessing their heretical site with my VPN active

 

[whatchamacallit]

That's permanently gone because every time its permitted its used as a reverse proxy for cp

the dude who made that "neonazi" party is a self described communist and was kicked out of the Left Party because he liked some FAR-LEFT antifascist organization called revolutionary front, the only thing that makes it the racist chud party is that they dont want (sand)niggers in sweden, otherwise it's marxist and left as hell

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96rebro_Party

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

Hmmmm...

Late to this whole ordeal but the Örebro party generally can be considered to vouch for "old-school" leftism / populsim with a firm nationalistic stance. They are highly critical of the current right wing establishment, however Markus Allard did host his "show" on "Riks"(right wing news associated with the sweden democrats), though they did part ways lol. They are leftists except for the parts that include enviromentalism, open borders, inclusivity, etc.

Basically, the Örebro party is vehemently against parasitism, strongly opposed to all the work that is filled by women (and to some extent men, but mostly women), that is subsidized by the government and can be culled without any significant societal repercussions, HR, state-funded "artists", you name it.

Allard is just against redundant bureaucracy, which is why he is semi-popular on media, just entertaining to watch him go off and not hold back in the slightest towards other couch-sitting politicians. Probably why the Mullvad guy donated to the Örebro party, finds Allard entertaining and agrees with the overall sentiment. That's probably all there is to it I'd reckon.

BASED. Been using Mullvad for good 4 years now.

Mullvad is the only VPN I've found that does not employ shitty business tactics. Pay by month, cancel any time, renew anytime. I am not switching.

 

[Adolf Kitler]

I'm sorry chud, but you're not allowed to have a country because that's racist and islamophobic.

Also, free Palestine from Israeli occupation btw if that matters.

IVPN is the only other VPN i'd use, it works like mullvad. I use Air for port forwarding for torrenting on private trackers but its too slow for my main PC.

The idea that the Örebro Party is "far-right" or "nazi" is laughable. It was founded by Markus Allard who's a former Left Party politician that got kicked out of the party for voicing support for the far-left Revolutionary Front. The main reason they are labelled far right is that they support massively limiting immigration and promoting assimilation instead of multiculturalism, as well as large scale remigration for immigrants (including 2nd generation immigrants) who do chaoz and live on the dime of the taxpayers. Other than that, they're primarily classically left-wing across the board.

The closest international equivalent of the party I can think of is the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance in Germany, though there are some differences.

I don't think it's fair calling them leftist either. It's just a populist party (not saying that is a bad thing). They want more freedom (gunrights, stronger landowner protections), they also want to cut taxes and keep taxes lower overall.

How Allard is speaking currently is not too different from how Sverigedemokraterna(SD) spoke before they were bigger, or even longer ago not even in parliament, then once SD got in with the big boys, they absolutely influenced others because other parties didn't want to lose voters to them being the only real anti-immigration party, but other than that, SD ended up compromising a lot. I'm curious to see much how of what Allard speaks about, he will keep up when(if) they end up being more popular.

This is not a perfect comparison - but Örebropartiet talking about all the things they would be called leftist or communist for, while also holding the views they do on immigration, even daring to talk about what an ethnic Swede is or isn't - broadly speaking is just a throwback to what the Social Democrats used to be. You can have the Swedish Model, the society that real Swedes built, a social safety net and all, together with not having to import millions of low IQ people, or any non-Swedes really just because you're "leftist" to some degree. You could even love your country, even during times when the World Cup isn't going on! Younger generations (really 45 and younger) that aren't conservative at all basically recoil if someone waves the flag not in a sporting context. For those not aware, the Social Democrats ruled Sweden for a very long time in total since the 30s, and even our supposed "right wing" parties'(or lack thereof) opinions just prove that the general Social Democrat view is very fitting to how the average Swede thinks, you can barely find right wingers in Sweden, there's always a lot of caviats that basically turn them into a Social Democrat but that doesn't want mass immigration, and/or wants to pay a bit less in taxes.

What I said above is just a broad problem in the entire West, though - being a "leftist", it's your religion to want that immigration at this point, even though it's a fairly recent development. It may be up there at this point with their dogma regarding abortion and women and gays.

Spoiler: Boring sidenote about recent 'LGBT' devolopments even in smaller cities in Sweden

You can do these tests in Sweden to see what party you should vote for by comparing with what the main parties over the 4% vote in parliament has said on different question. This is the most popular one by state media(lol) This year, for the first time, unless I missed it 4 years ago, even if you go by city/town, smaller ones, and region, you can find nonsense questions like "we should hoist the LGBT flag in X place in the town" and you rate that from very bad suggestion to very good, this year that was not only seen as "very positive" by all parties except one (aforementioned SD) in quite a few places I checked, but also marked by them as an "extra important question", like you would usually mark your parties main points, like the economy or law and order. This in many towns I checked included the "Christian Democrats" who are supposed to be conservative and obviously have Christian morals. To add to this, on the national level, so no longer just about in small towns, one of the main questions was "Schools should take bigger responsibility in educating about LGBT" - This was marked as good or very good by everyone except SD and the Christian Democrats. This is just to put into perspective how ingrained it is in the average leftist, but also how left-leaning Swedes are now, that the supposed right wing parties except one seen as the hecking nazis are for it too.

Sadly, where I think Allard will lose a lot of Swedes is when it comes to "freedom." The average Swede can talk about loving freedom of speech, but again there are so many caviats, like how it is with most Europeans, free speech except if they don't like what's said. Both that and how brainwashed the average Scandinavian is about guns. For the former I had a conversation with a representative once that had "freedom of speech" as one of his most important questions, I didn't even have to go to racial slurs for him to already disagree with it if what was said wasn't "ok." I'm hoping the younger generation is better when it comes to this, but it's hard to say, as they've been fucked in so many ways. End of sperging for anyone interested in current Sweden.

I doubt the troon customer base was big enough to being with. People who use VPNs as a necessity will 10x very soon and Mullvad is the best one.

 

[ButWholeTickler]

Mullvad don't snitch on their customers... Looking at you proton.

 

[ButWholeTickler]

Mullvad is like 5 euros a month not sure how much Nord is but I wouldn't get Nord, all the mainstream ones that are shilled by youtubers are undoubtly shitty. You could also try proton vpn since it has port forwading but its more expensive than mullvad.

Proton was caught giving up information on customers... Fuck that company.

 

[Sneed's Feed n Seed]

I'd bet the house on "astro-turfed shit to undermine good VPNs".
In fact, if this happens with other VPNs, avoid the ones that don't get this shit.

Proton was caught giving up information on customers... Fuck that company.

Go into more detail because if it's what I think it is it isn't as simple as you're saying.

That was for their email service, not the VPN. They collect and store the information you provide. You can’t blame the service provider for compromising your anonymity when you’re handing over your Gmail account and credit card, which is the same as giving out your ID card. Proton has free plans and supports anonymous payments using cash, they also allows sign-ups over Tor, so you’re not required to deanonymize yourself. I don't see any claims that their service is anonymous on the website, either.

They could strengthen user anonymity for their VPN by using a random identifier like Mullvad and IVPN do, but from the VPN side there isn’t much to criticize about Proton. They provide one of the few free VPNs that isn't compromised, which is a nice community service.
