First, Bitwarden. And now Mullvad. Those were like the only two “good” things left that I use. Sigh.
for Bitwarden, a much better replacement is Vaultwarden. it's very easy to run yourself, or you can find other servers elsewhere run by people. best part about it is that since every client acts as a full backup, if a server shuts down then you can just transfer your data elsewhere with no issues.
I know someone who runs their own server, which is what I use.
Vaultwarden needs its own client, and soon. BW is absolutely going to stop allowing non-official servers at some point.
I'm out of the loop on Bitwarden. What happened there?
New CEO comes from private equity and it looks like he wants to run it as such.
Ah. Shit. So they'll drive me away all on their own then. Wonderful.
Do you know if anything they're doing is going to affect Vaultwarden at all?
Vaultwarden is a fork, so BW can decide to cut them off anytime if they want to start charging everyone. There’s no indication of that happening yet, but that’s a possibility.
Vaultwarden isn't a fork. It is a completely independent implementation of the bitwarden api.
I stand corrected then. But the point still stands that BW can cut them off anytime.
Got vibes from bitwarden that it would go down that road eventually so stayed on keepass , then use syncthing to sync it between devices
Wireguard is still solid tech so its just a matter of finding a different provider.
It’s not so much the tech, rather the provider. Mullvad has proven to be one of the best in the VPN space. There are only a few others who are transparent with their policies and provide evidence of it. I might try IVPN.
