How do we tell you... ๐Ÿ‘€

yeah...they probably support nazi's right?

I don't know trying to find a decent company these days is like trying find a needle in a haystack.

I needed a vpn quickly and proton killed a few birds with one stone as I was also looking to leave bitwarden and transfer my domain for email.

so...what's wrong with proton? honest question because then i'm going to have to look for something ELSE for everything...again.

If it helps:

Proton has a decent suite of tools, enough that between that and their functionality I'm perfectly fine with just using their free tier (and being an outright cost for them instead of generating them money directly) until they either spine the heck up, or a better competitor overtakes the scene.

That said, I'm moving my mail specifically to Tuta.

sigh

welp, ugh, back to windscribe I guess. rip my email inbox. I'm not a fan of the cringe that windscribe produces but at this point I honestly don't know what VPN to use that isn't run by a piece of shit.

Also going to need new email and password service.
