Posting this because I hadn't heard about it before and I'm probably not the only Mullvad user here, so might as well.
The party claims to stand for a "class-conscious populism" which according to party leader Markus Allard takes inspiration from marxist ideology and unites the "productive" classes of society against the "Transferiat", with the "Transferiat" being a term coined by Allard to describe the classes of society that lives off transfers that are a net negative for society such as those who, despite having an ability to work, live off social welfare benefits, as well as those who work "made-up services"[...]
The party differs from modern day left-wing parties by seeing the working class as co-dependent with people working in enterprise and business and instead sees the classes that "live off transfers", as specified, as a large economic net-negative and an obstacle for a functional society.
Their ideology is nonsense fake-marxist revisionism to redirect anger at capitalism and turn it against immigrants and people who need social welfare (though they do back some generally left oriented social policies, their main thing appears to be racism)
Even if you're comfortable with funding this, it still begs the question of just how trustworthy Mullvad actually is.
I guess this still beats any of the dozens of Israeli VPNs that definitely spy on you, but it's not great 
Interesting. So this is something you need a server for I'm guessing, but you can rent one from other places? And it obscures your traffic? Is it still obvious you're using one, like with VPN's?
VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. You essentially rent a CPU core, a little bit of RAM and hard drive, and the bandwidth you need. Then you I have Linux installed, and you install your VPN server there.
Depending on the protocol you're using for VPN, it's more or less obvious that you're using one. Most VPN protocols simply encrypt your traffic without pretending not to, so sniffing your traffic will easily say you're using VPN but won't be able to tell what's in your traffic. There are however obfuscation tools and protocols for this. Source: my GF is living in Russia and Roskomnadzor blocks VPNs if you don't use a protocol which pretends to be normal traffic by disguising itself.
AmneziaVPN is an example of a protocol that pretends to be normal traffic, an even more advanced one is XRAY + Reality. You can read about that somewhere else, I'm not nerdy enough to explain it well
