I wanted to thank you for all the feedback you gave us when we initially proposed our project to you. We went back to the drawing board and reworked a few things. Notably, as you can see, a new website, and more communications. We’re still working on the design, but it’s getting there.

We also integrated another payment method with a friendly ecosystem, but we still are, and will always be, preferring Monero to be used. We stand by privacy.

If you would be so kind to have a look and let us know your thoughts, if you feel like you’d use the VPN service, why/why not, and any tips on improving our project would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Thanks for your response. We will have to look into the crypto refunds/money transmitter framework, thank you for raising that concern.

Mullvad - they're certainly a great service, but still legally need to collect some data. Their plans are 5eur and our monthly is 7usd, and if a yearly plan is purchased it brings it down to 4.16usd, which is then cheaper than Mullvad's 5eur :) Plus, you get to support the underdog :)

We did have a pay per day option, but decided to scrap it. Is that something you as a user would look for?

What data is mullvad forced to collect?

Pay per day may interest some users, especially automated users, but not something I'm currently looking for. Just thought since it's in your terms of service you should call it out as a feature to differentiate you

Nothing. They are forced to give their data upon request, but the data they give is basically useless. They even disabled recurring CC payments so they can't store customer PII payment info

It is in our ToS because we didn't update it yet. We're hoping to have more long-term users than one-offs. But perhaps it's also a good way for potential users to 'dip their toes in the water'..
