Why? If I was an intelligence agency and designing a VPN I would simply log all the IPs connecting to my VPN and not rely on statistics on exit nodes to identify the users, even more so because they rely on the users to pick different servers.
yeah, spicy
Make it look like an accidental misconfiguration and if an insider who isn't an NSA mole does somehow discover the logging, there's a fair chance they'll turn a blind eye anyway. After all, if you work at a VPN, publicly outing your employer for logging will tank the business, then you and your colleagues will all be out of a job.
I guess we’ll see how they respond.
Mullvad have been taken to court over this in relation to a copyright infringement case.
TL;DR The judge permitted people to take a fine-tooth comb to Mullvad's infrastructure and no logging was found[1].
