Anybody know of a VPN service that

  • Allows port forwarding (i.e. you can run a bittorrent client and accept incoming connections)
  • Allows connections using the Wireguard protocol
  • Doesn't have Israeli ownership
  • Isn't owned by fascists
  • Has exit nodes around the world, with a decent number of options and good speeds

So far, the ones with major problems are:

  • Mullvad is out because of pro-Fascist ownership.
  • CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, ExpressVPN, and Intego are owned by Kape Technologies which is Israeli

    Njalla is owned by Peter Sunde and almost fits the bill.

    Minus the exit nodes around the world.

    njalla censors queer voices and holds their DNS hostage for it. njalla is not to be trusted.

    I do not see a reason you could not discuss this. However, am not asking you to discuss it. I am asking for a source.

    If you cannot back up your claims or provide a source which can, I have to disregard your post as slander. I don't want to do that if you are being honest. I am only asking for intellectual responsibility on your part.
