Don't trust the provider
When you download Bitmask from [[dl.bitmask.net => https://dl.bitmask.net]], your service provider will not be able to distribute to you a compromised client with a backdoor.
%p As with any security system, Bitmask has [[known limitations => https://leap.se/en/limitations]]. For technical details, see our [[design documentation => https://leap.se/en/design]].
