I'd appreciate any insight ppl can offer, especially relative to mullvad VPN: could a casual privacy valuer benefit from this over mullvad now or in the future?

Has anyone seen this one listed on VPN comparison sites?

Same:

They take straight monero and generate accounts from no personal info

Pros:

It's something like 1$/device/mo, so sometimes cheaper than mullvad.

Doesn't use gmail or centralized servers like mullvad, argued here; went over my head

Something about improving browser privacy

Cons:

Beta; small project; haven't found credible endorsements

If you're a casual privacy user, then accepting monero and making accounts with no personal info isn't really something to be concerned about having.

Instead I would use a well known VPN with audits done that is shown to not hold logs, like Mullvad.
