On 18 Jan 2025, before Proton and Mullvad CEOs came out in support of the far right, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) recommended:

  • ~~Mullvad (Sweden)~~
  • ~~Mozilla VPN* (USA/Sweden)~~
  • ~~Proton VPN (Switzerland)~~
  • Tunnelbear (USA/Canada; owned by McAfee in USA)
  • IVPN (Gibraltar)
  • Windscribe (Canada)

I've crossed out the first three, since their CEOs support fascists. (I don't think Mozilla's CEO is fascist, but Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad under the hood, so Mullvad presumably gets access to the bulk of Mozilla VPN users' money and connection data.)

Nym is not on the list, so presumably didn't meet FPF's requirements.
