Rework VPN category

Yegor Timoshenko requested to merge 201812/bitmask into master

Short list of changes:

  • Add Bitmask (resolves #2101 (closed)). Unlike OpenVPN, Bitmask never leaks DNS/IPv6. It also ships with an approachable UI for desktop and Android.

  • Drop OpenVPN, OpenVPN for Android and Tunnelblick. Those are hard to setup correctly, and can be dangerous if user relies on VPN actually anonymizing their traffic.

  • Add Mullvad. Their apps are open-source, they use open-source WireGuard kernel module on server, service can be paid for with Bitcoin, they are based in Sweden, they have a long history of fighting for users' rights, their site is accessible over Tor, they hire(d) a full-time developer for WireGuard, they never log. See https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2017/9/27/wireguard-future/.

/cc @finn02: does that look good for you?
