VPNs aren’t all built the same. Many of you know this, and some of you don’t. For the latter, here’s a really informative report on a number of them. The “VPN Transparency Report 2025.”
The TLDR is on page 50, but I recommend at least skimming all of it. Especially if you want to use a VPN with integrity.
I use Mullvad, so I was happy to see it near the top in most sections.
