#protonmail has been having a rough day. Still touch and go for me.

*ProtonVPN Runs a A/B Pricing Test and lies about it*

"Proton VPN says its different prices were caused by a caching error. But independent researchers found code pointing to an A/B price-sensitivity test with users potentially seeing a €12 difference for the same VPN Plus plan."

Proton VPN is rolling out “Proton protocols” (codename ProTUN): a new Rust-based, client-side WireGuard framework built for faster cross-platform updates, easier debugging, and stronger resilience against censorship/network interference. 🔒⚙️ #ProtonVPN #WireGuard #VPN #Networking https://protonvpn.com/blog/protun-technical

Finally in the beta there is also the stealh protocoll available for #Linux Desktop clients 🤩 🙌

Proton is introducing Proton protocols—a new client-side VPN architecture built to deliver faster, more reliable connections and stronger anti-censorship performance. Available now in beta for early testing. 🚀🛡️ Learn more: https://protonvpn.com/blog/introducing-proton-protocols #ProtonVPN #VPN #Privacy #Cybersecurity

Proton VPN is replacing wireguard-go with a new Rust-based VPN core to share a common WireGuard implementation across desktop and mobile apps. The ProTUN architecture uses libpvpnclient and aims to improve integration, debugging, and anti-censorship control. 🚀🦀🔒 #ProtonVPN #WireGuard #Rust #Cybersecurity https://cyberinsider.com/proton-vpn-is-replacing-wireguard-go-with-a-new-rust-vpn-core/

Quote: "The new VPN engine is currently available through Proton VPN's early-access builds on Windows, Android, iOS, iPadOS, and the #Linux GUI application. Its introduction also enables features that were previously unavailable on some platforms, including Proton's advanced kill switch on iOS and its censorship-resistant #Stealth protocol on Linux."

If anyone is trying to have both #protonvpn and custom DNS on iphone or ipad and having difficulty, download the wireguard config from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads and use the official wireguard app from apple appstore. #privacy #iphone #ios #ipados #ipad #apple #proton #nextdns #adguard

I haven't settled yet on what's a decent VPN alternative, although my current frontrunners are Njalla (run by a co-founder of The Pirate Bay) and Nebula by Defined.net. Not sure about their politics, but distributed and Nebula is FOSS which is a positive signal, while not a guarantee.

What I've ruled out:
ProtonVPN - Actively working with government against activists
Windscribe - Transphobic indications
Mullvad - Funding a fascist leaning party

I'd love to hear anything people have learned about the alternatives, either pro or against. Boosts appreciated for reach.

#Mullvad #VPN #Privacy #Politics #ProtonVPN #Windscribe #Njala #Nebula #DefinedNet

Because of the fascist Mullvad CEO, I'm switching VPNs. I moved away from Proton when their CEO expressed support for Trump, another fascist party. I'm looking into IVPN...

#mullvad #mullvadvpn #fascist #vpn #proton #protonvpn #trump #ivpn

I can take a little speed hit in using a VPN, but not this much. In fact, whenever I am puzzled why things seemed to have slowed down so much - it’s like 🤦‍♂️- forgot to turn the VPN off. #protonvpn #technostress

Last night and today was spent trying to get #gluetun working under #k3s with #protonvpn 's free plan...

Still can't get it to work.

I'd love to like #ProtonVPN. They're #opensource, #european and many other things that I want a #VPN to be, but at the same time it's driving me nuts how much trouble it's causing me when I try and watch Twitch videostreams or play videogames like Apex Legends.

Oftentimes I get roughly connection drops that take ~10 second which is ruining my experience.
I've tried everything possible, but the problem won't go away.

Without VPN, I have zero issues.
Tried all the protocols and whatnot.

switched from #ProtonVPN to #Mullvad VPN

I was very happy with my choice until I found out that one of the CEOs is funding a far-right party.

Unfortunately, I won't be renewing my #Mullvad subscription.

Mullvad VPN's CEO has been caught supporting Sweden's far-right political party. In fact, the CEO is the party's largest individual financial donor.

I would suggest IVPN ( @ivpn ) as an alternative. iVPN stays out of politics, except when advocating for privacy and opposing surveillance.

That said...

When I previously pointed out that Proton VPN's CEO was a strong supporter of Donald Trump, or that Proton falls under U.S. jurisdiction, a group of people tried to perform mental gymnastics to defend Proton. They claimed that any alternative was no better or insisted that alternatives failed to meet whatever qualifying buzzwords they chose.

Today, I see those same types of people doing the same thing — defending Mullvad VPN while attempting to dismiss and degrade any suggested alternative.

The Fediverse has a group of politically right-leaning individuals who have learned not to express their support for fascism as directly, but instead to do so more passively in the hope of influencing others.

Standing up for companies led and owned by fascists while claiming "that's different" when comparing a company with the people leading it (Brave Browser, for example) is one way they encourage others to ignore what happens behind the scenes. Talking down alternatives that are not associated with fascism, or claiming they are no better for vague "reasons" (insert random excuse here), is another way these individuals encourage people to turn a blind eye.

No matter what alternative I or anyone else suggests, the important thing is that you choose one that does not support fascism. Don't turn a blind eye, and don't let someone else's mental gymnastics make you question whether you should switch providers.

Gave #Devuan one last go.

The GNOME #protonvpn client appears to work fine in xfce! DNS and torrent leak free!

The default Thunar file manager behavior is to not mount and not give the option. A pox upon.

So, sigh, I learnt how to mount in fstab with freetext creds in /root/.filewithcreds. We does it, but we hates it.

And now everything works! That's 3 of 4 Windows VMs I can now reimplement in Linux.

And for bonus points Devuan has been my smoothest experience with the #truenasscale implementation of #Spicespace. And I like the default GUI a lot.

#devuan is a champion OS for cool people and I am done with Debian and Ubuntu forever (at least until next week).

#protonvpn #protonvpncli #nixos To make #proton #vpn start the last used vpn connection automatically under nixos after #boot when the user logs on thereafter, try the setup as lines 160-179 of my #nixosconfiguration #nixosConfigurations https://pastebin.com/R3Hz05MZ Uses the command line interface #cli of the protonvpn-cli package.
Cannot say I understand it, but learnt a lot after a lot of dead-ends on the way. The #systemd #service in the configuratoin.nix file is not listed by #systemctl Why?
