The likelihood of being confused by rss among mullvad customers can't be very high.

You might be surprised! The Mullvad client is super well designed and usable for newbs, and I'll bet a lot of their business is from people whose more technical friends told them it was a good idea. There's a reason that Tor warns users that posting personal information or using accounts with their regular credentials compromises anonymity.

I wish RSS had more surface area with general computer users, but I reckon even being called RSS makes it unlikely. Folks in tech often forget how intimidating opaque names can be for nontechnical users.

Not being a Mullvad user myself, I wasn't sure if people tend to use a Mullvad client or a generic VPN stack built into their OS, but the Mullvad client could simply display news like this to the former set of users leaving only the latter set to configure a separate RSS client or whatever.
