🌐 A new top VPN for privacy?
It won't be a surprise if I tell you that as of today ProtonVPN, Mullvad and IVPN would be the best in terms of privacy.
However, a "new" VPN has teamed up with Mullvad, I've been closely following this rather interesting project called ObscuraVPN for some time now.
(No, it's not advertising or anything like that)
How are they different from others?
They don't see your internet traffic, since the outgoing servers will be Mullvad's.
They are "middlemen" between you and the Mullvad server.
Typically, there is "multi-hop" in many VPNs that make the traffic go through 2 servers, but they are usually from the same company. The difference here is that what Obscura can know, Mullvad cannot know and vice versa.
They also claim that unlike other VPNs, their traffic is much more difficult to block.
Our protocol blends into regular Internet traffic using the same technology that powers HTTP/3 – QUIC – making it much harder for censors or network filters to detect or block.
Currently it is only available for MacOS, but I hope it will soon be on other platforms so I can try it out.
They are clearly on the right track and could not have a better ally. I will inform you of any relevant developments they may have.
