[OPSEC/Computer] Mullvad VPN Service.. Run by the FBI? or..

Hey

Is anyone else a little suspicious of Mullvad VPN Service (www.mullvad.net)? When it connects to the USA server it ONLY connects to Manassas, VA. FBI's cyber crime unit HQ is also located in Manassas, VA.

Does this alarm anyone else? I have restarted the VPN client multiple times to see if it connects to another VPN server in another city, but it only connects to Manassas, VA.

I thought everyone here loved Mullvad. This would be bad

those are leaseweb servers.

I certainly wouldn't use that or any other VPN service while running tor, it introduces another point of weakness, regardless of if they cooperate with LEO they can be hacked. There are other ways to mask tor usage that don't hurt operational security.

If you need to use it to connect to a site that doesn't allow tor I'd use tor first then connect to mullvad through that.

Do you think the FBI is that dumb?


[1 Points] lamarrotems:

I highly doubt the FBI would route a VPN through their own headquarters if they were really trying to trick people.

They aren't that stupid.

I doubt the FBI is incompetent enough to make it that obvious.

I dunno who to believe anymore.. With Evo running off like that.. shows you really can't rust anyone these days. FML.

Worst argument I've seen. No.

yeah , airvpn which is supposedly "run by hacktivist" also has a few servers that connect to mananass servers , also they have a kevi server aswell .. personally if you are liveing the usa why would you connect to a vpn in the usa , unless your carding around that zip code. . This is the same reason why i stoped using them too many vpn servers in countries that in engage and work with NSA cyber opression

Do you know if they host any other US servers? It would seem weird not to.

Look up the ASN of the IP address before making wild assumptions. I know exactly which one it is and they're one of the most stand up hosts out there.

Edit: It's one of these isn't it?
