They do provide tunnels…
I love mulvad. Very unfortunate they hat to stop providing portforwards
Eh, it seems like a pretty niche thing. If you still want that behavior, surely you could set up a VPS and forward your own ports, no? With Bitlaunch, you can even disassociate it from yourself if you want.
What did you use it for?
Does that mean they would no longer be a good way to torrent my PDFs to my friends?
Normal ad for a normal thing.
“Uhh, so what kinda ad do you think would really reach your target market?”
“I’m thinking train car mural authored by the most mental illnessed man in town”
Looks like schizo ramblings. I love it
I hate ads on the outside of windows. And they give the little pinholes, like that’s supposed to be enough. The world becomes a blur. Out the window is the least anxious place to look on public transport, but they put ads all over the windows, and give us this pinhole grid crap like it makes up for it.
Ads in Windows are infuriating whether you're talking about panes of glass or your laptop.
Ever wanted to feel what it was like to be on the inside of a microwave? Well, now you can!
This looks like something you'd see on /r/schizophreniarides
Side note but has that or InfowarriorRides migrated to lemmy yet?

MULLVAD VPN
Mullvad ad on Lemmy instance.
One of the things I liked about Mullvad was that they didn't advertise. Has this changed recently or did they always do outdoor ads?
I've seen their ads in Sweden before IIRC. They don't seem to be very common though. Why don't you like that they're advertising?
When companies start to focus too much on growth usually they start to lose sight of their values and greed begins to take over. That said I just checked their ad policy and while they do physical ads, it's still a pretty reasonable policy.
They still won't be showing up on random YouTubers videos like Nord
They have a fair amount of ads in nyc.
I checked their policy, the physical ads are new
Mullvad is a good VPN. You might be asking why on a train it's because why not
Because it's an underground metro
Fits the mole theme
These particular lines are mostly above ground, light rail trains. They are only underground around DTLA
That makes sense
I think that's graffiti.
Mr Resetti?
Is this in Texas? Lol
Why show ads here ?
Because lots of people use Mullvad and think it's neat that there's a Mullvad train. This isn't a sponsored post, people just like Mullvad.
Okay, fair enough. Thanks..
It really turns my head upside down how is this possible, how does a VPN company has enough market / potential customers / money for this.
Because they charge 5€/month for it?
Their CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) is usually very high, just think about it. Aside from the subway ads that have ridiculous costs, they usually offer youtubers the equivalent of a year's subscription for each conversion. They also have to factor in operational costs so they've to keep new customers around for 1,5-2 years to reach break-even, only after that they've profit. Their business is based on a CLV (Customer lifetime value) that greatly exceeds the average for a B2C digital service - in order to survive they're either doing shady stuff with your data OR living of VC hype money.
claps and cheers
