ometimes we run into VPNs that
are doing things that might
sound a little gimmicky. OVPN is
one of those services, but
surprisingly its “gimmick” means a high
level of privacy and anonymity that comes
very close to Mullvad (go.macworld.com/
mvad), our gold standard for VPN privacy.
OVPN wants to know very little about
you. You can share your email as a
backstop for account recovery, but you
don’t have to. Instead, all the company
wants is a username and password. It also
keeps data tracking to a minimum and even
goes that extra step with how it configures
its servers to keep your information private.OVPN: A solid performer, with very
good privacy promises
OVPN is an interesting service that takes an extra step to secure its servers,
and offers some solid privacy promises.
