“Mullvad’s mission is to make mass surveillance impractical, and a VPN alone is not enough for achieving online privacy-you also need a privacy-focused web browser,” says Mullvad CEO Jan Jonsson.
Depending on your use case and circumstances, though, they can be a valuable tool. As a result, VPNs have a complicated reputation, because they are only as private as the VPN provider is trustworthy. VPNs, in contrast, don't take such great pains to anonymize your traffic and instead focus on offering privacy protections by creating a system in which only you and the VPN provider can see your web activity. Both the Tor Network and virtual private networks encrypt your web traffic and tunnel it through an intermediary, but Tor is focused on the anonymity that comes from a specific scheme of sending your traffic through a series of “hops” or special servers.
