With ever more Supreme Court fuckery going on I'd like to help comrades in my local org be better secured against potential breaches.

Ideally I'd like to recommend 1-3 options that meet these needs:

Easy to use
Can be used on phones as well as mobile devices
Doesn't retain any network traffic data

Any ideas on what options we have?

Proton or Mullvad.

Proton has the benefit that you can also get their google replacements in the same package.

Though as said, vpns are overhyped for security.

Proton is CIA. It's modern crypto AG

Also read their blog post about supporting HK. they are a TAIWANESE company and Taiwanese companies do not do this. They do whatever they can to minimize controversy.

I'm not saying they're great or perfect, I'm saying they're one of the better options. The CIA is embedded everywhere, they're basically unavoidable.
