Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) (mullvad.net)

Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

€5 a month for a VPN is expensive compared to others? I always saw Mullvad as one of the least expensive options other than like protonvpn and very few other open source ones. Most VPNs are hella expensive

Personally I use Mullvad because it's simple, very usable, open-source, and I can trust it the most (not to say some of the other open-source privacy-oriented options aren't trustable). Ever since I got into programming, I've only ever used completely open-source options when I had the chance – if it's not open source, I won't use it. I make very few exceptions, like for games, because open source isn't as successful there for the most part
