mullvadvpn-app VS ZudVPN

* Mozilla VPN: wrapper around https://mullvad.net/ (and had security issues: https://www.techradar.com/news/security-audit-finds-major-is...)

hey there, after doing some research it seems like the conclusion is your vpn. Nord VPN has a lack of port forwarding, while other vpns have port forwarding (proton, mullvad). that is most likely interrupting your speed. also, apparently nord does keep some sort of logs if your interested in that. i would recommend cancelling nord and getting something else like proton or mullvad (i would recommend proton more) if you really want to download movies/shows. another option for you (if you dont want to switch) is to find your movie on websites that don't require a vpn (aka not torrenting) but you can if you want to. you can use this for that, they have tons of movies and shows. or just use a streaming site off of the megathread.

The 500 MiB thing is because the frontend is an Electron app. That's sadly how it is with Electron. The UI can of course be re-written into a language/framework that produces way smaller programs, but it's not currently really worth the tradeoff. Most people are not that constrained in disk or internet speeds. https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1572

The downloads folder access thing is because Apple made it so. If you run an installer from the downloads folder it will need access to the downloads folder. This has nothing to do with Mullvad, but is a permission check macOS puts on all software. The Mullvad VPN app has no code for doing anything in the Downloads folder specifically.

Requiring an account for search is a deal breaker. They say they need it for payment, but mullvad[0] does just fine without an account as well.

From this post: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1570

I don't understand why the .rpm package of Mullvad VPN still only officially supports Fedora. This issue on GitHub has been open for almost three years now and there is even someone else trying to help you making the necessary changes to support openSUSE in this PR. I kinda agree with cornfeedhobo's sentiment that the necessary changes to make it work on openSUSE are being gated. I'm a paying user for quite some years already and made the switch to openSUSE and I'd really like to continue using Mullvad VPN there without having to force install the .rpm package and thus living with a lot of uncertainty about how well it will run.

It's just a false-positive. If you're still wary, feel free to review the source code of the app and you can even build it yourself: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/

I am creating an open source VPN application for mobile phones (iOS, Android) and a chrome extension as a proxy. I wonder what features people expect from a VPN.

My MVP is that the app will functions as a VPN launcher on user's preferred Cloud Provider like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean, Vultr and any other major cloud provider that offers API access.

Features, I envision to add are: Ad-blocking by DNS, VPN Kill Switch, Static IP (if provider has it), IKEv2 IPSec-based VPN solution like strongSwan, and since the server belongs to the user, I plan to add a Terminal right in the app so that the user could connect and do anything they want.

Since the app is an open-source I pushed initial PR to GitHub so that anyone can scrutinize the code: https://github.com/zudvpn/zudvpn

- In your components, just call `useStore` hook and require whatever state property you need: https://github.com/zudvpn/ZudVPN/blob/master/src/screens/MainScreen/index.tsx#L13

When I first started on react native I used react-native-navigation and never looked back. I don't have any experience with react-navigation. So far I can't complain about react-native-navigation on https://github.com/zudvpn/ZudVPN

When using random VPN are you sure the risk is not owned by you? Here is the cloud config init data that is used to create the server: https://github.com/zudvpn/ZudVPN/blob/master/src/providers/DigitalOcean/cloudconfig.tsx Feel free to see if it's worth the risk or not.
