Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
I am dissapointed that my VPN is getting involved in US politics. This is not something I want for this kind of service. I dont want to debate US politics here. That being said, I cancelled my annual autorenew for April and I would like some recommendations. Originally I was deciding between Mulvad and Proton. I've also seen some people in this thread using Tuta? I am in Europe and just want a service that prioritizes anonyminity and data protection. I don't know how the dust will settle on all this Proton stuff. What would you all recommend for a provider?
I was a Mullvad user until they dropped support for port forwarding, something I needed on a daily basis. Then I moved to Air Vpn. All things considered, Mullvad is a great experience, and I completely recommend it.
I've used mullvad before and it was a great experience. As far as anonymity goes, I don't think you can do any better than mullvad where you even have privacy friendly payment options. That said, I haven't used proton VPN so I'm not sure how they compare feature-wise
So apparently mullvad and windscribe are the best ones people use.
And I am using windscribe no problem.
~~It is however not as good integrated in Linux as nordvpn.~~ But it's a lot cheaper.
Edit: only on nixos you don't have the app.
I don't look into VPNs often but I have used PIA (Private Internet Access)for years because their prices were cheap. I integrate them into Linux using OpenVPN. Is there anything I am missing out on not using mullvad or windscribe?
Openvp works fine.
No you are not.
As long as you don't use Nixos windscribe is even better than nordvpn. I just remembered my problem is my os and not only the app.
For mullvad idk. I used it for a month for testing and it worked fine with openvpn. I didn't use any app.
