Complete online privacy is almost impossible due to digital footprinting, and I accept that.

But I got access to Mullvad by paying a third party provider over the lightning network for a token which I could redeem for account access. And during no part of that process did I have to provide a name, email, phone number, or address. And I switch the token out every 3 months for a new, unique one.

“Honeypot” seems like a stretch in this situation. They also are moving to RAM only servers.
