 What would you say about Tor? 
Also, would you say Mullvad is different?  
 I don't know.... 
Do you know how tor works? I don't. I trust that millions of other people use it and seems to not have been reports, but in actually I can't trust it if I can't really verify? It seems that I get different IPS and that kinda makes me happy for some uses. 

I don't know anything about mullvad.  
 I don't know how exactly it works but @Ava probably does.  
 I do know how Tor works, and only an organization like the CIA could deploy enough routing nodes to spy on anyone through it... And they won't get everyone they cast their net for. So it's mostly kosher... Just don't do anything very illegal there, because they may be casting a net for you if you do. 
 How do I know you are not CIA?
