We're flattered, the Guardian Project put a feather on our cap with a vengeance! Go read their post here:

We have generally avoided recommending #VPN providers for #privacy since it is a thorny proposition, although they are clearly useful for #censorship #circumvention. We recently mapped out what a VPN provider needs to do to gain users' trust guardianproject.info/2023/02…

We sneaked out an update for Android. We had to remove the donation button because Google Play sets the rules - but obviously we still depend on you! leap.se/donate/

A lot of Russian speaking people have been showing up in the last days. If you're fluent, it'd be swell if you could help them in chat or writing a little how-to. App translation too: wiki.localizationlab.org/ind…

It's really motivating when people create or ameliorate our software. File bugs, translate, write docs, test, develop! Some nice folks created a guix package: guix.gnu.org/en/packages/bit… Shoutout to jgart and raghavgururajan
