The service seems kind of generic, maybe even worse than the other generic VPN services. No statements about what they log, whether they allow p2p, no mention of port forwarding, servers in only 5 countries which you may/may not want to VPN through, etc.
Not sure about the software, I guess they think it will be an improvement over OpenVPN/WireGuard which is debatable.
No statements about what they log
It's on their main page bruh:
If you use the AmneziaVPN app for a self-hosted VPN, we do not collect any data about you or your server.
If you connect to our services, such as Amnezia Free and Amnezia Premium, we collect only the data necessary for the VPN to function.
Amnezia is interesting. It is definitely better than just self-hosting a vanilla WireGuard/OpenVPN, because of the obfustation options they provide (XRAY Reality, Cloak etc.) Although, personally I would prefer to simply setup any of the protocols myself than rely on Amnezia or Outline or whatever else. For non-tech savy users this might be a great option though.
Maybe I'm just being dumb and can't find it but...its a massive red flag for a VPN not to have a privacy policy.
Looks like they
- collect "depersonalized" data
- they use hidden pixels for tracking
- allow advertisers to gather info such as your IP address
So they share "depersonalized" data with advertisers.
They user hidden pixels to track you on their website.
And they allow advertisers to collect your IP address to send you personalized ads.
