Mullvad is unfortunately run by fascists so a bad choice if you're not one.
co-founder donated to the sewedsish party Örebro Party
I switched away from Mullvad because of that. I waited a bit for their response before deciding, but I found their eventual response pretty wishy-washy. Their counter-argument was:
It was a private donation from Daniel the individual. Mullvad or its parent and sister companies did not endorse and were not involved in it.
But his personal money still comes from the company, so if I continued to send Mullvad money I'd know it was still indirectly going to the Örebro party, whose leader called immigrants "parasites", which (as an immigrant myself, albeit not to Sweden) is not acceptable to me.
which vpn do u use now?
I switched over to IVPN, they seem pretty right-on and no scandals that I know of so far.
i heard its good for privacy but is it for piracy too?
thanks for using Leebra!

If you're only talking about the download process, and you are downloading at home, then a trustworthy VPN is the (only?) way to go. I'd look into Mullvad or IVPN.
If you are also talking about other processes surrounding downloading, such as registration, creating accounts, communicating with people over the Internet, use fake names ( https://www.scifiideas.com/... ), e-mail aliases ( https://simplelogin.io/ ) and respectable DNS providers ( https://quad9.net/ ).
