That's about performance optimization from rewriting old code, not memory safety magic, they literally rewrote WireGuard-Go to be faster, the language switch was incidental to cleaning up their mess, Rust is known to be very optimized for performance and definitely easier to use compared to C/C++Trust them.

I mean all this page says is that they use multiple hops in some sorta mesh like network. They never mention how they provide their IP addresses without any 'central servers'If you are going to hide from govs, it's difficult, you can't fix everything in life.
Even if you use any high secure models there is some sort of limitation.

From personal experience: go with perfect privacy. Concept of the vpn shared here sounds nice but trust is the key with vpns.
I do mix them though. Vpn router, host perfect privacy, vpn a different one.
Just make sure you never trust just one vpn if you really do „bad things“.
For 99.9% even nordvpn will be more than enough.

I truly consider this guide as a true goldmine, as it covers many interesting subjects.
Anyone has thoughts on Mullvad? Swedish based, www.mullvad.net. I have been using them for about 2 years and no issues so far, but would love to hear your experience.
Mullvad is usually considered a safe option, and the service should be paid by cash or XMR if you are willing to use them.
But using it as the first and only layer remains risky: even if there is no sign of them giving away users (yet), we will never be 100% sure they can be trusted.
They've been raided several times without success so idk if there is a better indication of trust than that 😉. But indeed having a single point of failure is always more risky than having multiple, but even then, most if not everyone here should be fine.
I don’t understand why they base these companies in places like Sweden, instead of, for example, Nevis or Vanuatu, where privacy would better be safeguarded.
It doesnt matter where it is based per se, more about where the team is located. If you have an LLC in Nevis but the company is in the USA they can still kick your doors in or install spyware etc. (it is their own jurisdiction). Sweden has decent laws allowing Mullvad to operate how it does and gives them access to enough techies to provide their service (try running your main VPS servers from such a small island country, that would require massive investments).
I was gonna say the same - internet access at small isolated islands with the bandwidth required for serious industrial applications is probably unachievable at the moment, but I stand to be corrected.
A while ago I was looking for a possible datacenter location for a Swiss company looking to find a suitable place for its datacenter, but the bandwidth they required is simply not available in Paraguay nor Argentina. While Paraguay offers almost unlimited and cheap and reliable hydro energy (Itaipu and Yacyreta dams), the lack of the desired bandwidth is simply not here for a large scale industrial applications.

How do you know that it really does run it though it?
Just read DOJ cases... they have access in many cases (somehow) it doesn't read correctly on how they obtained information etc so there's obviously under some terrorism legislation or something backdoors into a lot of these.
