I want all apps like Mullvad VPN: paid with bitcoin. Account is just a random number: no email, phone number, street address, credit card etc. required.

I love Mullvad, been using them for 10 years now. They are the true privacy kings 👑
That would be awesome 🤩
It’s a beautiful thing
That's what IVPN is
You could easily login with nostr with any auth system that works like this. All mullvad or anyone else would do to link accounts is sign an ephemeral event with this account number for the content. It works be a dream come true.
I wish you could cycle through the mullvad account as often as you like using blind signatures, or transfer your balance. Recently had a conversation with the CEO about this.
Also saw this today, haven't read yet: https://x41-dsec.de/news/2024/12/11/mullvad/
Looks like there were some small vulnerabilities but they fixed them.
👀
use https://vpn.sovereign.engineering/ and burner Mullvad accounts (with burner email addresses)
That's not possible. For example Mynymbox needs email addresses. It's up to you if you use a fake email or an alias or your real email. But it would be useful for you to rexdive emails for our invoices, service notifications etc.
We get sometimes tickets from our customer that they didn't know that an invoice was due and that their service is now suspendet. So ... 😀
"That's not possible" is odd to say in a reply to service that shows that something like it is very possible.
Mullvad also expires and it has to notify you about it, Mullvad also handles support tickets, etc.
Yes, you have some extra complexities, but not unsolvable.
Mullvad can do notifications because most of their users run the Mullvad VPN client. We don't have a client 😉
You highlighted one possible option: have a client. There are multiple things used on Tor that have a client, so that's possible.
I'm not saying these options are better, but I'm saying they are possible.
Asking users for email is the point of weakness - emails run on clearnet domains and if the email providers are kneeled on, they will provide the information to a three letter agency of your choice (e.g. proton did provide info in the past).
Could not agree more!
A dream
And even better with Lightning and through this site it can be doen for Mullvad
nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg would it be possible to build such a proxy for #ecash?
That is a great idea 🔥
Or checkout nostr:nprofile1qqs80n2hqvjppgqh2c5t2dtl5e2mr7kw4d90u468xwaaenke8r0frgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqzxthwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mg6k4xa4, privacy like Mullvad, plus accepting lightning.
No one serious in their mind should use traceable Bitcoin to buy anonymous VPN.
#Monero
Mullvad rules!
100%
And ideally with ecash and lightning payment options
