More than "mildly infuriating", this is deeply depressing.

(And seeing TikTok two times there don't make things better...)

How good is adguard VPN? Got a good deal on 5 years of it.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 110 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Well, at least the No. 1 spot is a trustworthy VPN.

Yeah, but the other two... (And fucking TikTok there twice! TWICE!)

Proton VPN is one of the few great ones, along with Mullvad and Windscribe

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They just came out in support of the Republicans today, sadly.

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They as Proton did not.

Their current CEO did.

Massive difference, this may be their personal opinion but surely it does not speak for the whole company.

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They shared this from the company account.

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

I did not realoze that, cancelling this shit now.

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Its a shame so many people are trying to go for Proton since they expressed support for a Trump pick

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I for one, while being as anti-trump as it gets, do not judge a company and their service based on the political view of an individual that works there. Yes there are some principle decisions that one can make but the software itself is good and the service they offer.

i mean andy doesnt just work there hes the literal ceo and 1/5th of the board

[–] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

because of their incredible no logs policy. Its the best vpn according to piracy communities.

[–] poke@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

While I am deeply disappointed by the message, their actions in the industry have still been generally positive over the years and their services remain one of the only reasonable alternatives to google, apple, and microsoft's cloud services. Outside of the VPN, Their UX still needs work before I can say its ready for the average person - but It's still good enough for most people here who have some base level of technological literacy.

Though I am now looking for and hoping for an alternative to crop up somewhere.

cozying up to a five eyes country isn't a good look for a privacy company

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Nope. They shared this from the company account on Bluesky and Mastodon.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 30 points 3 days ago (13 children)

I wonder if people know why they are downloading and using a VPN. Especially when you're talking about the more sketchy ones.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

To avoid region locking. Anything else regarding security is just bogus talk they trying sell you.
