[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 852771, member: 55987"] Mullvad VPN recent (4 Jan 2020) updated review here. Pretty detailed review. [URL unfurl="true"]https://cooltechzone.com/mullvad-review[/URL] A concern though Quote 3. [I]“Bridge” connections (Shadowsocks)[/I] All of Mullvad apps support the use of Shadowsocks technology. This technology allows a device to connect to one VPN server while another one is visible at the output. The user can choose both input and output servers. This technology works a bit like Double VPN which [URL='https://cooltechzone.com/nordvpn']NordVPN[/URL] and [URL='https://cooltechzone.com/surfshark']Surfshark[/URL] have but doesn’t launch another VPN channel on top of the first one but connects the servers sequentially. This doesn’t affect the connection speed as much as Double VPN does. At the same time, such a method doesn’t create double encryption and therefore, is weaker than double VPN if you need some “paranoid” security measures.
