Comments
Impressive VPN project backed by a team that knows their stuff.
It’s come a long way since the beta. Getting more polished now, but still missing a few standard VPN features (split tunneling, custom DNS, WireGuard config files). Bonus points for the unique mixnet mode for added privacy and anonymous signup.
One to follow!
Paying 12 eur (or 6 eur with crypto) just for over engineered Tor clone? Nah, not for price, not for their advertising, not for their slow and instable connection quality.
Please just donate to Tor exit nodes…
It’s not a Tor clone. It actually provides stronger anonymity than Tor since in addition to onion routing it mixes traffic, adds noise, and delays to resist timing analysis. Tor should adopt the same methods.
