As far as I know they don't have audits done, so who knows about the logging. Both IVPN and Mullvad pass those. Could still be fine though, but I'd rather trust Mullvad or IVPN.

Only if you need (cheap) port-forwarding.

I also like the idea of ptunnel

Ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies.

There's already Yandex captcha for those situations.

Well, why don't you just try NextDNS? Don't like signing up to try a service? You don't have to. Go to nextdns.io, click "Try it now" and there you go. No account required for 7 days.

You don't need to add domains yourself, you just choose from existing blocklists they provide. Each have some description, just like all the settings.

Alternatively, Mullvad freely provides DNS with some blocking too, but you can't edit anything.

Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.

I just wish Mull (and Tor on Android for that regards) did what desktop Tor and Mullvad browser (I know the devs are different) do with specific window sizes to remove unique window resolutions.

Currently both Android Tor and Mull lead to a unique per-device fingerprint.

the pharmacist had to call the doctor to work it out.

Oh god, that must have been better than AES256 if even a pharmacist couldn't decrypt it.

There's also some official groups for normal projects. I know for example PixelExperience ROM used to have a community over there before shutting down.
