I’m using Mullvad because I like their company. F***! These is no way I can formulate this sentence without it sounding weird…

Anyway!

It seems like the state’s websites and the municipalities’ websites allow Mullvad but the counties’ websites block it.

What the actual f… 😂

What’s the situation in YOUR country/region? Are you able to do taxes, surf on healthcare related websites (hospitals etc) and on government bodies’ sites without issues?

    Why do you use a VPN? I only use one when torrenting. Basically all my traffic is over HTTPS, and my DNS is encrypted via NextDNS so I don’t think I need one usually

      No amount of traffic/DNS encryption actually hides where your requests are coming from, or where they are going to. Your IP address and the IP addresses of the sites you visit are always unencrypted. VPNs hide both of these; realistically that’s their sole purpose on the modern web.

        I use strict HTTPS-only mode in my web browser and legitimately can’t remember the last time it’s broken a website that I wasn’t personally hosting as a dev server. At this point, I would never expect to be able to keep my interactions with any website that doesn’t support HTTPS private, VPN or not.
