If you feel one of the options offers something better than the one you currently use, you may consider switching. That’s the purpose of comparisons, after all!

Tor VPN is different from Tor Browser.
I’m not sure. Are you certain you have the right app?
It is not. I’ve been able to use it on GrapheneOS without Google Play Services.
I didn’t suggest F-Droid for inclusion though. I merely used its applicable terminology.
My bad, I understand now.
Because it’s security focused, it includes app stores that are good for their security (regardless of privacy). Other app stores, such as F-Droid, have security issues that Accrescent and the Google Play Store don’t share. This topic has been argued to death countless times before, and I don’t want to start a flame war, but do try researching it and see what comes up.
Isn’t Mozilla VPN built on Mullvad?
Yes. That’s included in the comparison.
Also, why this instead of https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/#detailed-vpn-comparison
They don’t include NymVPN.
That’s another bug on my part. I’ll fix this in version 2.0 :)
I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category
I’d be happy to hear your elaboration on this. From what I know, Switzerland is seen as the gold standard in terms of privacy.
and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that
The issue is that age doesn’t correlate with security. There could be an outdated, insecure VPN that’s been around for 10 years, or a modern, secure VPN that’s been around for 10 days. If I included it, there would be no “good” or “bad” values. Nevertheless, I will include this in version 2.0.
(and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad)
I knew NymVPN used a small bit of Mullvad VPN’s code, but I didn’t know they used their servers. Could you link to this?
As I mentioned, the availability section is security focused. F-Droid has potential security issues compared to Accrescent or the Google Play Store.
(if they exist) on Linux
secureblue is Linux.
Soon :)
I plan to make a version 2.0 with some requested changes.
That seems to be a bug. That’s my bad. Thanks for catching that! I’ll fix it soon and edit the post.
Edit: Fixed! Sorry about that.
Proton VPN supports port forwarding. IVPN and Mullvad VPN do not. Mozilla VPN and NymVPN don’t explicitly state whether or not they do from what I found, so I’m not sure.
I’ve included it both as a post image and as an embedded image for maximum compatibility (e.g. for RSS readers), so there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ve tested it on multiple browsers on multiple devices just fine.
Edit: It seems lemmy.world is breaking all lemmy.ml images
Originally I was referring to the signup process (since they generate a random account for you) but I edited it to try to add some clarity.
