In December my 2-year ProtonVPN subscription is running out. I had planned to switch to Mullvad, but Mullvad has come out as 50% nazi since.

Which VPN should I use, that works on Linux, Android, and GrapheneOS? I use VPN for everything I do online, except a few things that do not work with it, and German state services. I do not trust German ISPs and I do not want them to know what I am doing. Therefore the VPN has to be reasonably fast, private (no logging, independently audited), non-fascist (of course), no DNS leaks.

I wonder how techlore is evaluating these?

Unfortunately, signup for Librem One services seems to be unavailable right now. (I didn't get a good explanation why. Purism can be pretty unhelpful for some things, but great on others.)

I hope the employees organize and fight back harder. The leak indicates some already fight back so that's good. But they need a change of leadership, not employees.

I think I am going to switch to IVPN. I just need to check if it has servers in all the countries I need.

I haven't seen fascist shit from them but I'd still suggest double-checking. Also I'm not sure what it entails to support Graphene. Graphene can run Android apps, can't it, but maybe not all Android apps work on it?

Other than I guess another option could be a VPS + something like Wireguard or Headscale. But that's more work to set up, and it would be limited to one location.

But on here a while back there was something about how many VPN companies have ties to the Israeli military or former Israeli military staff, so thatโ€™s worth looking into, should that be a concern.

Off the top of my head I think it matches what you're after, but I haven't double-checked.
