Dear @techlore, I've recently asked my VPN provider why they are using (as most VPN providers are!!) the third party provider M247 LTd for hosting and the highly likely scenario that the 'actors' have this company on the radar as its the most widely used hosting provider and therefore, particularly in the UK is highly likely to have DPI boxes downstream on the exit nodes. They did initially come back with quite a poor response but when questioned further have shut up shop and will not answer any further questions. I pointed out that M247 Ltd is UK registered and therefore even connecting to other EU countries they would ultimately would have to comply to UK data retention laws. Could you guys not challenge VPNs this question why they are using third party providers, reg in UK, subject to UK anti-privacy laws, the highly likely DPI boxes on exit nodes..list goes on.
Hi! Can you please do a how to setup the privacy settings for mullvad app, or an answer, the mullvad app is very limited in comparison to the desktop Version and i only use an iphone atm so don’t know how to get max security with this or if it’s even enough. Also costum dns any examples? Thankyou! 🙏🏻
I’m so glad you didn’t switch because of something major wrong with Proton. I switched to it recently for the combination of email, VPN, and storage in one place. Thank you for great, and helpful, videos.
I have a video suggestion! The best setup regarding home security. Which cameras to use, which aren't flawed like most cameras from China and which NAS you'd recommend to store all this data onto :P And how to connect these NASes in different locations so they can sync with one another
@@techloreyou can do one about the available choices for camera, one for NAS and a video covering how to combine and set them up like a series if it's too much work for one video.
On the proton + custom DNS I had no issues on Linux. Basically run the Proton VPN CLI on top of the Portmaster pointing to NextDNS and that was it. No messing with iptables or resolvconf

In late 2022 the speeds were so bad I had to buy another VPN temporarily. I definitely noticed big speed and reliability increases through 2023 for proton.
Hey wanted to ask if your battery usage for mullvad was from iOS. Since iOS only natively supports Ikev2 that’s the only protocol that will show accurate battery usage on iOS.
Proton is still the best. If you're getting locked out of a website or it's becoming unstable, I think your DNS settings need adjusting. Seems to work for me. And what are your thoughts about 1.1.1.1 cloudfare WARP for privacy?
FYI: tailscale battery drain is fixed on ios with the latest ios update. I was having the same issue with tailscale and mullvad with ios 17.1 now on 17.2 I have no issue
thing is the folks at ivpn are very conservative. they do not have a business mentality, just a privacy one. so they aren't actively looking to form these sort of partnerships and what not.
I had a really good experience with IVPN but the Proton Ultimate (vpn, mail, cloud drive) was the same price as IVPN on its own. However, the Proton calendar and cloud clients are frustratingly isolated. I know that's the point but for everyday integration... 👎🏽
Tailscale used to be a big drain on my samsung s23 ultra but over time i think my device learned how to manage it and the battery seemed to improve quite a bit. Were you able to have the Mullvad VPN work for the actual NAS as well? There doesn't seem to be a way to configure or apply the VPN onto the NAS but only for the other devices.
what about userAgent and fingerprinting by canvas? I use a couple of extensions in firefox to manage that couple, should I add these extentions to mullvad?. (btw this browser doesn't allow me to copy paste in it, I use kde)
Im going to radio and done with cell phones all together. The customer service is non-existant at this point so we pay for terrible service every day. Checking out of the system altogether is best we used to live quite nicely without all this frustrating crap that we just accepted as being "better" it is NOT. People cant wipe their rear without consulting their cell phone on instructions

Do you understand that his threat model doesn't require the degree of anonymity that proxy chains provide and it doesn't include all the powerful adversaries that they are good against? Apparently not, and so your message doesn't give any value to this conversation. On the contrary, you just basically came and said that all his efforts are futile because he's not doing his best to uphold some imaginary standard that you have imposed. Henry's doing everything in his power (and within reason!!!!) to achieve what he's trying to achieve regarding his privacy setup and he's doing his best in that.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
sounds like a honeypot
Mullvad is the only VPN I ever tried and I don't think I'll switch to any other
same
ikr
Good. Its the only good centralized vpn that exists.
Is it slow? The one thing I hate about the VPNs I've tried is they slow my connection way down.
@@phototristan nope

Proton vpn has gotten way better for my daily use over the last year. But creating your own blocklist, I can see the issue.
In late 2022 the speeds were so bad I had to buy another VPN temporarily. I definitely noticed big speed and reliability increases through 2023 for proton.
Nice hair cut it’s about time. Great video !!
Mullvad still barely works in restricted countries.
I use ivpn, mullvad and a couple more + standalones.
Thanks for sharing this piece of your journey ... very insightful and thought provoking.
Hey wanted to ask if your battery usage for mullvad was from iOS. Since iOS only natively supports Ikev2 that’s the only protocol that will show accurate battery usage on iOS.
I loved Mulvad until they took out port forwarding :(
Sure you did.. And Pigs cant fly yet, can they?

This needs more upvotes
Thank you MR Henry for helping me switch to mullvad

Will look into!

Tailscale on Android is fine, I'm using it. So I guess it's a bug on iOS ... Just wanted to let you know.
I have a dedicated server rented on the internet for my websites anyway, so I just installed open VPN and I use it as my own VPN and that's it.
I had a really good experience with IVPN but the Proton Ultimate (vpn, mail, cloud drive) was the same price as IVPN on its own. However, the Proton calendar and cloud clients are frustratingly isolated. I know that's the point but for everyday integration... 👎🏽
I have been using torguard for years but I'm gonna test out mullvad
Cool. Will try mullvad
@techlore what type of ungoogled phone do u use?
Tailscale used to be a big drain on my samsung s23 ultra but over time i think my device learned how to manage it and the battery seemed to improve quite a bit.

i use windscribe for streaming reason with build a plan and mullvad in general as it its twice as fast for me
what about userAgent and fingerprinting by canvas? I use a couple of extensions in firefox to manage that couple, should I add these extentions to mullvad?. (btw this browser doesn't allow me to copy paste in it, I use kde)
Good video.
thanks we care.
If i subscribe Mullvad VPN add-on in Tailscale, does it have features like split tunneling, custom DNS and Kill Switch?
4:37 cant sign up for them while using mullvad 😂
Hi! What about the speed and Netflix streaming, i hear a lot that this lacks with mullvad? Thanks! 😊
Mullvad is one of the fastest vpns when you use wire guard protocol plus is like 5-6 euros remember a month. Can’t remember exactly.
Mullvad ads in nyc subway might be honeypot prepqration
Why
@@dante5765 im not just confused
Well, I’m using 6 different VPN services, non of them really tick all the boxes 🤷♂️
Damn you must have a lot of money to spare
I just did the opposite
Thanks!
Mullvad with Nord VPN with Incogni and Surfshark VPN with the Surfshark Alert subscription as backups.
I honestly dont trust my mobile device to ever connect it to my NAS in any way.
Yeah, only os id fully trust is something like grapheneos on a pixel, which is fully open source.
I dont get it, I thought it being in the 14 eyes made it useless? Whats the point of using a vpn if its not doing what it's supposed to?
Algorithm.

He would be super sexy with a beard.
Yes he would #NoHomo
Ivpn is over priced and the owner is toxic
What makes you think *Mullvad* is any different in this?
Any vpn < multi layered proxy system. You're connected to the honey pot
The honey pot only extends to countries within the eyes. It's common sense not to use those.
