Yes and no, and I'm tired of hearing Mullvad from Monero folks. They just have a different pricing strategy, which is only cheaper for shorter-term plans. The prices you see at AriaVPN are for new customers, but there are discount coupons available up to 30%, our loyal customers get up to 30% discounts on plan extensions, and we already match Mullvad on long-term price plans without discounts. If you only had any idea how much they pay for servers vs what's their organic traffic, at the top of which they claim to pay for targeted advertising, it might make you question how can they possibly make a profit, and whether there's a hidden business model. At least I do, and I don't like what I see.

First of all, AriaVPN is a brand of Anne Media and when we became host to Kuno, it was pre-agreed that instead of asking for donations that'd cover the cost of hosting and additional development, we'll simply add our ad for our VPN service so we can reach out to the community. We don't run external ads. Secondly, the script you see and block facilitates automated translations, which we added on request. So thank you for your assessment.
