US-based Malwarebytes acquires Swedish AzireVPN.
FFS, EU companies, can you please, for the love of fuck, stop selling out to US corporations? We just lost a reputable EU-based VPN to the US right as Trump is about to take office.
Congratulations. Take fucking bow.
If you’re looking for an EU-based alternative to AzireVPN since they’ve now sold to a US company (why, hello, Trump presidency, how goes?), see Mullvad VPN (@mullvadnet).
@aral Sellouts will continue until the capitalism prime directive is abolished.
@aral "Selling Out" is what businesses do. Even "nonprofit" businesses find ways to sell out and provide a payout to the humans running things. There is no magic security potion.
@aral always a good time to remind people not to put all their eggs in the same basket and that there are many good European alternatives to US SaaS which will only get better as more people use them.
@ljmc Indeed. Although Mullvad is not on there under VPNs? Odd. @mullvadnet
@aral vouch for mullvad - they can't keep track of who goes where if they don't even know who you are ;)
@aral @mullvadnet they seem to have great features - RAM-only nodes, double-hopping, traffic obfuscation, sane wireguard config/rotation
@aral @mullvadnet Gothenburg represent!
@aral @mullvadnet Yes.
This piece says it well:

@aral What about AirVPN? An Italian VPN company which claims not to keep logs.
@mdebal Donno, sorry. Don’t have the time/patience to dig into every VPN company out there :) Caveat emptor and all that :)
@aral no no of course not, but I'm hoping somebody here has experience. From a service level it's all quite good. I've been using it for 8 years but I haven't looked into any news around the company lately.
