You're of course correct on that, but Mullvad the company gave (somewhat) clear news release that their company is against far right (or left or any 'far' direction) politics. I'm not a customer and I couldn't care less about Mullvad, but I think it's worthwhile to keep in mind that company isn't the same than one of it's founders.

Of course if that is a breaking point to you, feel free to vote with your wallet and I can very much understand the decision, but there's very few fully reputable companies around so I can also understand if that's not a hill to die on.

    Despite what comes from the mouth of the company, it is made from and run by the people behind it. Funding Mullvad funds him, and in turn that funds something intolerable to me. As long as that link is there, I won't be.

    Separating the people from the company is viable when it's an inconsequential staffer in question. Not so for a co-founder and co-owner.

    There aren't many things left in life where it's easy to have scruples, but this absolutely a hill that can be died upon without much inconvenience.
