Mullvad's Radical Transparency Exposes the Entire VPN Industry

Listen Later

Why is Mullvad the best VPN for privacy in 2026? As they officially retire OpenVPN support (Jan 15, 2026) and migrate to their new Rust-based GotaTun engine, Mullvad continues to stand alone.

In this video, we go under the hood of the most transparent VPN on the planet. From their radical 16-digit account system to GotaTun (the future of WireGuard at Mullvad), we explore why this is a privacy utility, not a lifestyle brand.
