Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN (www.mintpressnews.com)

Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.

This begins with its owner, Teddy Sagi. Born in Tel Aviv, the tycoon, who previously spent time in prison for financial crimes, is estimated to be worth $6.4 billion, making him among the top ten richest Israelis.

Sagi has a long history of working closely with the IDF and is rumored to be extremely close to Israeli intelligence. In 2019, he donated $3 million to fund hundreds of academic scholarships for discharged Israeli soldiers. “It is a debt of honor for us and for me personally to express gratitude and appreciation that all of Israel’s citizens owe to you,” Sagi said at the Friends of the IDF Gala. He also made a point of finding jobs for former IDF soldiers in his businesses.

Are any of the VPNs not scum? Every time I try to research any of them I find a slew of reasons they all suck.

Mullvad and ivpn I think, there are couple of others I forget. Despite proton being pigdogs, I don’t think their vpn side showed issues with warrants (mail did though). Mullvad does a lot of cute, future-proofing stuff as well, like traffic noise (small number of nodes though) and quantum resistance (if you just torrent, that’s useless)

AmneziaVPN as a protocol is pretty cool, and for not much money you can rent your own server and host VPN for yourself
