Comment on Show HN: A small bootstrapped independent VPN company in the Netherlandsparent

Thank you for your questions and feedback!

WifiMask uses OpenVPN for the macOS app and IKEv2/IPSec for iOS. We haven't had 3rd party audits yet, this is definitely on our wish list, because we understand it's all about trust. Alternative payments like bitcoin are on the list as well, we aim for total anonymity for our users, payments are part of that. To be honest we can't track any illegal activity, because we have a strict no log policy, all we can do now is say it is not allowed. We have nothing to hand over to enforcement either, they have to find different ways of getting the information they want. We should investigate and think about transparency reports and a public disclosure policy too, thanks!

Then... May I ask why only Apple devices are officially supported right now?

I have no affiliation with the service, but I assume that:

1. They're small

2. They're new

3. Their team has more experience developing for Apple devices, thus it was quicker to release for those devices first before tackling Windows, Android, and/or Linux.

What they could do in the meantime is create a web-based tool to generate configurations for OpenVPN and/or Wireguard, like Mullvad does.

Appreciate the replies, thanks.
