That’s what I’m hoping some consideration considering it would undermine everything in regards to the lifes at risk. Currently using Proton but think Mullvad now it keeps coming up. Does it offer other services as well similar to Proton and if so how are they? Thank you for your reply.
No mullvad is a vpn. For mail use some other providers not in your country, switzerland for example. For cloud I would say selfhost.
Roger that thank you for the input.
No maybe Dont do that!
See any VPS provider you can pay by crypto. Access it over the Tor browser. Either do some Linode oneclick stuff or follow some setup to setup a server and wireguard VPN.
I can help you if you want.
Mullvad is easy to block, as every servers IP is known. Custom servers not so likely.
If that fails, Tor network with bridges...
Mullvad is a non-profit focused on privacy as a human right. They provide anonymous VPN services, you can pay with them with crypto, cash, a lot of different things that help distance you from the service. They also provide a Firefox fork, called mullvad browser which is like a mix of the tor browser, arkenfox with all the privacy respecting options set correctly out of the box
