Basically I started with mullvad then turned to proton but after they introduced AI and a crypto wallet I’m just looking for what peoples opinions are.
EDIT: Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions :D
Use Mullvad, unless you absolutely require port forwarding.
This is the best answer.
Proton has port forwarding? Source?
God damn that’s complicated compared to PIA
Pia is owned by very sketchy Kape Technologies, just FYI.
Yeah but their stack is open source, with no evidence of wrongdoing, and proven no log track record. Their servers have no persistent storage. The threat model isn’t the fuckin NSA lol
While PIA Might not have done any wrong doing, Kape Technologies definitely has. Imo, it’s not worth funding.
I have a proton subscription but it’s not worth the effort to port forward until their app can do it
I dont know why that has you doing so much, I use port forwarding with proton vpn and all I did was press a button in the proton vpn app and it was on.
That’s the manual setup for use cases like on a server or whatever (a common place where you would need port forwarding)
What OS?
Windows 11
Ah that’ll do it. Seems more effort has been put into the windows app
Thank you for your opinion
And if you need port forwarding use airvpn. Proton seems more and more sketch every day
Or you already use Proton Mail / Drive etc and want to save a bit of money with Proton Unlimited at 9.99 EUR/USD / mo. That’s why I switched from Mullvad. I do agree that overall though Mullvad is the best in terms of trustworthiness (so far as we know anyway)
