Well, they forked wireguard go… I say their seriousness will depend on:
- how well they maintain their fork
- whether or not they continue to offer their self-hosted tier
I’ve been burned too many times by startups who gathered up some initial money from investors and then went all corpo once the money dried up.

6 0 ReplyThe service seems kind of generic, maybe even worse than the other generic VPN services. No statements about what they log, whether they allow p2p, no mention of port forwarding, servers in only 5 countries which you may/may not want to VPN through, etc.
Not sure about the software, I guess they think it will be an improvement over OpenVPN/WireGuard which is debatable.

Looks like my telegram dealer has opened up a VPN provider startup, very weird aesthetics. Can’t say anything about the product though, I guess it’s good to have more competition in the market?
5 0 ReplyMaybe I'm just being dumb and can't find it but...its a massive red flag for a VPN not to have a privacy policy.

- collect "depersonalized" data
- they use hidden pixels for tracking
- allow advertisers to gather info such as your IP address
11 1 ReplySo they share "depersonalized" data with advertisers.
They user hidden pixels to track you on their website.
And they allow advertisers to collect your IP address to send you personalized ads.
