Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

    Torrenting works fine with Mullvad in my personal experience, and will pretty much up to my current ISP speed limits (which is 200Mbps download).

    Can’t really guarantee you that it will be as good if you’re hosting your own seedbox over their VPN (then again if you’re doing that you should probably pay for a proper seedbox hosted elsewhere) but if you’ve downloade something and the just leave it seeding, it seems fine.

      I can’t honestly say I’ve ever had much trouble with it either. No trouble receiving files at least… there wasn’t much outbound traffic, but that could just have been a lack of interest :-)

      I’m happy with Mulvad’s service and now that the initial shock and indignation is wearing off I’ll probably stick with them.

      Besides I read about their new traffic obfuscation and I’ve got to give that a try. We need proactive innovation like that, now more than ever.
