  • Well mullvad has multihop already with better control than obscura, but it is the same company.

    I understand their multihop like that the second server accept all traffic from other mullvad servers without knowing your location, while the first has another wireguard layer so they cant see your traffic. Great and enough if you dont fear mullvad being coerced into changing their logging.

    With obscura, mullvad accepts all traffic from obscura servers too, but the servers are operated by different legal entities.

    This is made less useful by lower actual technical barriers. Like the servers could be in the same datacenter, while on Mullvad they could be in different countries!

    Lots to improve for now but you gotta start somewhere


  • They work fine already but could be better. Open source and contact to the dev over PGP but they could have a public issuetracker or a semipublic read-only one or so.

    Currently this is really just a companies thing, not legislations. If you live in frankfurt and choose frankfurt, your traffic will go through an obscura server in frankfurt and then a mullvad server in frankfurt. Not amazing if you want to make tracing harder by using servers in different countries.

    Speeds are fine, the android client is reliable. LAN bypass works, no split tunneling is annoying though
