None of them usable

This is setting Google up to eventually say “Aw shucks, might as well make it proprietary, we’re doing it in-house anyway”

Thank you for the explanation. It would suck to put down money just to run a nym relay. I was interested in lokinet too but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a small VPS, really

Impressive, I didn’t know AirVPN accepted XMR. That greatly influences my decision about them vs PIA and others. I wanted a VPN which I could pay for anonymously and could torrent with (open ports)

I think PIA is decent for torrenting and Mullvad for privacy

Does TOR suffer from Sybil attacks? I admit I don’t know what that is, I’ll have to read about it

You’re right but if it’s something that sensitive I’d rather use TOR/I2P

Why do we care about their ownership if it’s proven that they don’t log and let you forward ports?

Ah I thought you meant during signup. I thought they were audited and provided proof that they don’t log anything? Is that fake?

Yes, Nym is new. Their mixnet has a lot of similarities with TOR.

What do you mean by “cost of maintaining a server”? I don’t think resource requirements are any different from TOR relays or exits.

It is possible in theory but I assumed they weren’t lying when they said over 800 nodes exist in their network.

Yeah maybe I should’ve put Nym as “of interest” rather than giving off the impression that it’s at the same level of reputation as Mullvad and IVPN

Over TOR?

Wait don’t they take crypto? Just fake your details

Ah, I missed that crucial part, apologies. I’m not very well versed with cellular standards: I would assume that Qualcomm is not very OpenSource friendly. Is there any other manufacturer they could use?

Mullvad, IVPN and Nym (not tested with audits yet, do not trust as much as the other two).

For clearnet browsing. PIA, AirVPN and Windscribe for torrenting. Windscribe and PIA are probably good for either but this is my classification, take it as you will

Can you link to their court hearing, specifically where they refused to provide logs?

Also, do they accept crypto?

Can this be made into an android app to hook into android’s APIs for their modem? I think that would make it a lot more portable

Hardened Gentoo?

Use the image viewer used by TAILS

I don’t mind if people use LGPL or some derivative of GPL. All I want is improvements to the source be published, and MIT simply doesn’t enforce that. I have no intention to force companies to publish their code that they have worked on for a long time - doing that never really helps. But I do want them to publish changes they make to already FOSS products so the author and the community can benefit.
