I would be wary of the claims of any company implementing a mixnet as part of their VPN. The anonymity that Tor provides depends on the basic principle that is is unlikely that your exit node and entry node will be able to collaborate. If all nodes in the network are run by one company then that basic assumption is broken from the start.

    Thank you Safing I have not heard of. ivpn not great for southern hemisphere (but do appear ethical) Tor I haven't looked into for a long time I looked into nym not long ago and left myself this note 'Pricey if doing per month, not if doing for year. Lack of transparency, shit website. Dodgy feel.'

    That just degrades it to a normal VPN. Allowing others to join the mixnet, gives it a path to more decentralization. But these things have to start somewhere
