This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
As much as I think this Andy fellow is a douche, I appreciate Proton is encrypting all my stuff, which is still way better than gmail. For that, I will continue paying for the service. It's just so much work to switch over email - I don't want to have to do it again.
They've started collecting red flags like they were the Soviet Union. Welp, this is the last one I'll watch them pick up, though.
I'm so tired of this
Does anyone have VPN replacement recommendations? (Besides mullvad, already looking into them)
God dammit... this totally validates my procrastination in signing up.
Im pretty buggered here, there's no other VPN that does two things I need, per app routing and port forwarding. There's lots that do the former and a few that do the latter, Proton is the only one that does both.
Correct me if my information is out of date, please.
Private internet access.
Their image is weird because they have the less SEO friendly name ever and all their promotion is made with AI nowadays. It wasn't a few years back and they've been around for a while. But they do both per app routing and port forwarding.
Also, encryption, volatile storage, privacy conscious, a good server spread, etc.
Yet another case of “you either die the hero, or you live long enough to become the villain”
Except the lifespan for the former seems to be about 6 months :)
Aparently it should have been, either you die a hero or live long enough for people to find out you were always the villian :)
If they are gonna have no qc and insecure code, they should also lower the price, right?
He really doesnt understand the user base that Proton built over the years. He sounds like an asshole that was built by a Tiger mom and Frog dad.
Checking privacytools.io, I see they have choices that aren't great alternatives to Proton's ecosystem. For example, NordVPN (not a great product) and Mullvad (didn't the owner contribute to a Swedish nazi party?)
So...is there a curated set of recommendations to replace all Proton products?
