I love Mullvad but are there any trustworthy VPNs that accepts Lightning?
Discussion
Mullvad is the only one I trust.
They don’t accept lightning but you can buy a gift voucher with lightning on vpn.sovereign.engineering
Oh this is rad. Thanks! Do we still have to wait for an on chain swap or anything?
Did you know that Mullvad means Mole in Swedish?
Does it have multiple meanings in Swedish? When I google translate from Swedish -> Spanish, I get Mullvad -> Lunar. Lunar in Spanish typically means “of or pertaining to the moon”, but is less commonly used to say “mole” or a skin lesion. I ask because you’re a native speaker and Google Translate sucks, sometimes.
No. Mullvad is the little mammal that lives under ground. Not a skin lesion or something about the moon.
Mull is an old word signifying dirt, earth and “vada” is like “wading”. I don’t know if this is the correct etymology of the word but you could imagine that it kind of “wades” in the dirt🤷
Got it! Thank you ser for clarifying.
It's logo is literally of a mole too 
Aha, see there!
Well I’ll be damned. What a weird thing. Really in your face isn’t it.
Does ‘mole’ have a second meaning (snitch) in Swedish as it does in English though?
Yes, it does. Spy, infiltrator.
What a bizarre name to call a VPN service 🤦🏻♂️
Yes. But the connotations to the word among the general public is more of a cute and secretive mammal living underground. The people who named the service probably had this more in mind than “infiltrator and spy”.
Great point. If they were intending on being ‘moles’ to the authorities I’m sure they’d have picked a more covert name :)
I use windscribe
Ivpn. Best out there.
