My main question is, should we avoid VPN companies that are apart of the the 14 eyes, etc.? TIA!
It doesn’t mean anything at all. Swedish SIGINT agency has been working with 5-eyes for ages.
Ingsoc
You’ll likely be fine as long as you don’t use it to send classified military material to the Russians.
So… no Warthunder?
If not Mullvad, then what? Generally the privacy community holds them up as the gold standard for private VPNs, and I wouldn’t know what to switch to if I were looking for better (read: outside the 14 eyes).
Proton and IVPN are also great choices.
I forgot about them (IVPN).
Apparently Nord is outside the 14 eyes too, but I’m not excited about them – they’re more into KYC than other options. Decent track record (at least according to Wikipedia) though.
No. The 14 eyes fear mongering was always just marketing and not a legit reason to avoid a vpn.
