Not much other information could be dug about this company except that the name of the company (Amagicom) is derived from a Sumerian word, “ ama-gi,” which stands for “ freedom” or “ back to mother” (slavery context) if you want the literary version and “com” which is an abbreviation for “communication.” Add them up and you get “Amagicom,” which translates to “free communication.” Pretty clever, both the company name and their product’s name are a bit of play on words. The team also includes “Robin Lövgren, Simon Andersson, Linus, Richard Mitra, Sanny Mitra, David Marby, Odd, Andrej Mihajlov, Janito Ferreira Filho, Elad Yarom, Jackson Kong and Jan Jonsson.” The team behind the Mullvad VPN project is called Amagicom AB and was founded in 2009 by Fredrik Strömberg and Daniel Berntsson, in Göteborg, Sweden. Well, it did! It appears that mullvad means mole, or if used figuratively, spy or whistleblower.

Since the company behind this project is based in Sweden, we decided to look up the translation of Mullvad and see if anything interesting pops out. However, upon further analysis, we discovered something interesting. We’ve stated that at first sight, the name of this application isn’t very suggestive by itself, you don’t get a “security” or “privacy” hint when saying it out loud or thinking about it, it doesn’t even have VPN in its name (much like other similar VPNs).

Split-tunneling, torrenting, and Tor support.

How does that sound? Great, then, let’s begin. That way you can skip right to the parts that pique your interest the most. Besides carefully selecting the information that went within it, we’ve also included a handy table of content.

However, you don’t need to worry about this review taking too much of your time. Mullvad is the VPN service provider that we decided to test and review on our systems, since it’s among one of the most high-ranked solutions of this kind and quite honestly, although at first sight there seems to be nothing about its name that should catch one’s attention.Īs usual, we’re going to do a little research about the company, get elbow-deep into their Privacy Policy, analyze the way it behaves on your computer and runs a few tests to see if it’s worthy of your attention or not.
