It’s fairly priced for what it is and provides good value to me.\n\nNatureFriends:\n\n> So I’m asking you whether you believe paying for ensuring privacy is a good thing\n\nNot necessarily, if you want to support these companies or projects then sure, but a lot of people will be ok with using free alternatives.\n\nNatureFriends:\n\n> or if you believe we should all have a right to privacy for free?\n\nCompanies should respect our privacy by default without us having to pay any extra money, that’s for sure. I don’t expect privacy-first companies (Mullvad, Proton, Mozilla…) to provide products and services free of charge.",
