They're known to run everything in RAM, nothing gets stored. You pull the plug and everything is gone.

Of course, you have to trust the company on that.

So nothing actually physically prevents them from logging your data, and this entire series of statements from you mean nothing because it still boils down to "you have to trust the company". A statement which is true for every VPN provider.

The trust in Mullvad was put to a test two years ago when Swedish police raided their headquarters with a warrant to seize customer data. They left with absolutely nothing because the data didn't exist to be seized.

Furthermore, Mullvad doesn't even keep an email address or a credit card on file. You sign up with a random number and can pay with cash in an envelope. If a company doesn't know who you are, uses only RAM servers, open-sources their code, and successfully clears a police raid, it's no longer just a matter of blind trust

So nothing prevents them

By that logic, nothing prevents your ISP, your OS, or your hardware manufacturer from logging you either. Ultimate trust is an illusion in tech.

Correct and we know several of these parties do log you.

One option is to use Obscura, so then you at least spread the trust to two parties (one of which is Mullvad). Not great, but better.

Thanks for the shoutout!
