I’ve used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).
But I’ve increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to “shop around”
Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad… except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.
So are there any other good options?
Thanks
What’s going on with Proton the company?
Edit: ah fuck, thanks for the replies. Sigh.
Their CEO praised Trump/the Republican Party. He got widely criticised for it. Proton released a damage control statement but later deleted it after it made things worse.
People are now moving away from Proton as a result.
It would be more accurate to say some people are moving away. The majority of their users are quite happy where they are.
“Time to find a CEO who has yet to publicly express their fascist sympathies…”
The irony of saying something like that when you’re using an ISP with Trump supporters on the board of directors is wild.
Wow! Add me to that group. I need to cancel my annual family plan.
