Why I think a VPN increases your anonymity

although i can sympathize with your perspective as I shared the same initial concern, your words are once again only partially true; this article is NOT “just based on mullvad’s reporting”:

In a statement to The Verge, Christian Toumie, a spokesperson for Sweden’s National Operations Department, says that “members of the Swedish Cybercrime Centre, operating under the Swedish Police Authority, executed the search in response to a European Investigation Order concerning a serious cybercrime.” Toumie declined to comment any further, citing local legislation and the fact that this isn’t a Swedish investigation.”

I agree with your reason for skepticism as i mentioned previously, however, it appears to me that your skepticism is likely over-tuned and biased towards the notion that everything is untrustworthy. This was a bubblegum article that would have been difficult to skim and miss a key validation.

Anywhew, I hope the source satisfied your curiosity. I love learning too ~

Fair enough, I concede. Purchasing mullvad now!
