definitely, but to be fair the same goes for most similar swiss companies that I know.

no, I just think the misconception that Switzerland is some kind of privacy paradise is very common and any possible malicious entity, from corporations to governments, can too easily take advantage of this.

if the political orientation of the cofounder is important (and I personally believe that it can be) than equally, if not more, important is the jurisdiction of the services. I’d avoid both UK and Switzerland for a VPN.

oh ok, right.

what about Mullvad?

if only there was a good, actively developed and highly regarded free and open source alternative whose name would be something like “LibreOffice”…
