The IT company Mullvad’s founder Daniel Berntsson is behind a giant donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates “comprehensive re-immigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s needed,” he told Flamman.

U know this for sure? Windscribe has been around for longer than that.

(Copied from another response)

Their source code is public and as of the past few months, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILLS.md, and other vibe-coding artifacts exist across nearly all their repos. Maybe it didn't start off vibe-coded but it is at least partly AI code now

Not happy about seeing that 😑 As much as it sucks, these days its not possible to avoid vibe coded projects.

At least Windscribe have been audited (last in 2024 afaik), so at least some confidence there. Personally, would also rather stick with this over Mullvad in light of the recent news, each to their own there ofc.

Been looking at IVPN for a while and did consider switching to it but Windscribe had way better deals so it was an easier choice then and there. Will think twice when have to renew.

shit their annoying emails are enough to not make me want to use them again vibe-coded or not.
