    Haven’t heard of Tuta Mail, I’l be sure to look into it. Already in the process (mentally) to transition to Mullvad. The lack of port forwarding is a shame but their privacy and security is on another level.

    Thank you for the recommendation!

    Edit: All clients are OSS??? That’s amazing!!!

      When a user’s assigned a static forwarded port, it creates a unique identifier that can be used to track and correlate their VPN activity over time.

      This persistent identifier undermines the core anonymity purpose of a VPN service, as it provides a way to fingerprint and potentially deanonymize specific users despite the VPN encryption.
