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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Mullvad is blocked quite often so this has me curious if obfuscation would do anything.
If it uses known VPN servers as exit nodes (which seems to be what it does), then no.
lol Mac only. Wants you to sign up for spam to “request” your OS. No thanks.
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.
Also site is slightly broken on Webview sans javascript (Privacy Browser): the little 8-bit white clouds (that move with JS on) partially cover every paragraph
I see on Obscura’s website that their whole thing is making the VPN traffic look like all other tr
Is mullvad going to get to use any of that stuff now that they’re partnered?
Mullvad already has that. It’s called “WireGuard Obfuscation” in the settings. Obscura just seems to have a different implementation based on similar principles.
I continued looking at their website after I made my comment, it uses mullvad’s proxies as exit points
Yeah I guess Obscura does obfuscation between the client and entry node, which is where it matters
