Mega, “The privacy company”, launched a new VPN service.  
While they claim on the home page for their VPN that “Your privacy is our priority”, their Terms of services ( [MEGA VPN Terms of Service](https://mega.io/de/vpn-terms) ) states that they log your IP-Address and the IP Address assigned to you

> MEGA will collect and retain the following information concerning your use of the MEGA VPN:
> 
> 1. IP addresses (both originating IP addresses and assigned VPN server IP addresses) and port information;
> 2. Times and dates of connection and access

The apps are also not open-source, but I just wanted to post this for any people googling how good Mega VPN is.

Take care!

At least they’re being honest.

For the low price, it’s a good solution for basic cases of untrusted networks, such as coffee shops or the public office wifi at work to keep traffic out of the boss’s view.

I don’t need to pay for a vpn service where servers that don’t log and that get destroyed every 24 hours. Yet.

It is not a good solution for anything. Privacy is worth more than that, Mullvad is affordable as well, and it is a far better choice than surveillance VPN.

For US$1/month for Mega, and €5/month for Mullvad, that’s a large difference and may not be affordable for a lot of people.

We may have differing opinions on this, and most people aren’t in need of a super private VPN solution with it’s costs for basic surfing on untrusted networks.

There are even free VPNs like Warp and Proton that you can use if you only want to use them for public Wifi occasionally.

fwiw ~~Warp iirc discloses your IP to websites paying for Cloudflare enterprise and~~ Proton guest mode only works in the Google Play version not the GitHub or F-Droid version.

This is no longer the case.

Warp hides your IP and is even used by Microsoft Edge as a limited free VPN now.
