Today we are announcing a partnership with Obscura VPN, a newly launched two-party VPN service that uses our WireGuard VPN servers as its “exit hop”.

First I’m hearing of ObscuraVPN at least, but it does seem to be a very new player in the market. However from reading through their website and Github. This service does look very promising! Though it is slightly more expensive than Mullvad.

Anyone had the chance to test their service yet? Does it seem interesting to you? Let’s discuss.

    From a tech perspective, it looks promising. In theory, your privacy will be, at very worst, only as bad as the most private actor in a two-hop chain.

    In practice, though, Mullvad seems relatively okay with offering a white label version of its services to anybody who asks. And there’s a plus side there, because it means anybody who subscribes to that other service will be part of a larger crowd of Mullvad users in general. And blending in with the crowd is a good way of staying obscured.
