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

    Who knew pirates were such babies they can’t use a product simply because the ceo has differing political views. Insane.

      No it’s insane to continue supporting companies when their leadership doesn’t align with your ideals. The only power you have is choice. Now run along and continue being the good little consumer you’ve been made to be.

        You’re acting like their CEOs political leaning makes any difference at all to the company. It doesn’t. All people like you are doing is making sure everyone just hides their opinions to fool numpties like yourself.

        Run along and draw some swasticas on cars while calling yourself the good guys.

          Capitalism has really done a number on you. It’s sad. You even admit you have to hide your opinions, but can’t understand what that really means. Ah well. It’s not like you matter anyway so keep in being a piece of shit with no self awareness!

        You’re talking about a community that supports piracy lol. Not exactly the moral compass you’re pretending they are.

          huh? Where did I say pirates are morally superior? I meant that people, in general, like to think of themselfs as good and so avoid doing things they think are bad. I don’t see where I might have implied what things are good/bad.

        liberals really struggle with that concept. esp democrats. they keep thinking people will show up just because they’re less fascist than republicans.
