The USP here seems to be the traffic mangling used to disguise the connection. The client is open source, which is always good, but that means it’s probably easier for a bad actor to analyse and break that USP.
Very limited payment options and macOS only currently. Feels like they’ve made a pretty webpage & rushed launch, instead of polishing the product/product availability first.
Unfortunate that the term ‘Obscura’ is dominated by the band in search results.
I will stick with stuffing an envelope with cash and posting it to mullvad, but this is definitely one to watch.
IVPN offers privacy friendly payments, has been audited, and does not demand PII for registration.
They also run a popular DNS leak testing service.
This is what I have switched to, at least.
