A statement on the Tor Project's relationship with Mullvad

The Tor Project has decided to continue its technical collaboration with Mullvad despite recent concerns about a political donation by a Mullvad co-founder, but will establish clear boundaries on the relationship. The organization conducted extensive due diligence involving community input and has paused co-branding efforts while maintaining technical work that benefits Tor users, citing the need for difficult compromises to advance privacy and anti-censorship goals. The Tor Project emphasizes that the collaboration will not compromise its independence or human rights mission.
