DISCLAIMERS :
Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it !
Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them.
I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !
English is not my mother tongue ^^'
The Windows setup for everyone (with freeware only) Will make Windows suck less
This is the apps for Windows 11 that I would recommend to anyone who just got a PC !
The same list for
macOS :
Linux kernel (GUI apps only) :
A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)
Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device.
Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%)
I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time).
FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software

Comments and Reviews
Mullvad are one of the only VPNs to support the cutting edge WireGuard protocol. I use this together together with SOCKS5, and get speed increases of up 1000% compared with OpenVPN.
I wouldn't use a VPN based in the EU lmao
If there are genuinely no logs and they don't know who you are (because they don't ask for any personal information unlike with other VPN providers), then the jurisdiction is of less importance. For example, Edward Snowden has endorsed San Francisco based Signal, and his approval was validated when Open Whisper were recently compelled by a federal subpoena to hand over info on a certain account. Unfortunately for the US government, the logs showed only when the user first signed up for the service and when they most recently logged in.
The same would be true for Mullvad, which - by the way - is based in a far less draconian legal system than Open Whisper. Mullvad's sign up process, in literally 2 seconds, gives you an account without you having to provide ANY personal information of any kind. No name, no email address, nothing. This is because Mullvad uses a genius token based system.
Mullvad crystally clear explain on their website what they don’t log, how they're able to achieve it and why they don't want to keep logs on you. This inspires a lot of confidence.
Further, I would rather have a transparent and ethical EU based provider than a shady Panamanian (or wherever) based one that don't even reveal who the people and developers are behind the company. Mullvad, on the other hand, is developed and run by genuine privacy activists who are well known in the community.
If you appreciate the importance of open-source and transparency in general, then using one of your "non-EU" services represents the antithesis IMO.

I’ve been using Mullvad and have always considered it one of the best VPNs when it comes to privacy and security. I’ve had a good experience with the service itself and have a lot of respect for the work they have done in protecting users’ privacy.
However, I’m deeply disappointed by the recent €450,000 (5 million SEK) political donation made by a Mullvad co-founder and 50% owner.
I understand that it was a personal donation and not made by Mullvad itself. But that personal wealth comes from owning a company funded by its users’ subscriptions, so calling it “personal” doesn’t completely separate it from the company for me.
What makes it even more disappointing is that the money went to a far-right party whose leader has promoted “remigration” and has used the word “parasites” when referring to immigrants and people from other backgrounds.
I’m not questioning Mullvad’s privacy, security, or the quality of the service. Those remain excellent. I’m simply very disappointed in the people behind a company I used to have a lot of respect for.
For now, I’ve decided to stop using the service. I hope this situation is reconsidered in the future.
The product itself is very good, but the money you pay is partially going to an extreme right Swedish political party through one of the co-owners. To me, that is a deal-breaker. I will be taking my business to IVPN and Proton. Bye Mullvad.
Provides free exit nodes to certain networking projects. €5 for everyone? Except those getting it free
Mullvad was the first VPN to convince me to spend money on it, it is genuinely the most privacy oriented VPN currently.
I would also take a look at their private DNS service, it's free and it's really good. I was using nextDNS but I switched to it. I no longer pay for mullvad but i continue to use their DNS
VPN service is amazing, but 5 simultaneous clients for one account is ridiculous. They must add some devices per account. Then I'd give them 5 stars.
100% private, you can even pay cash
