#protonvpn — Public Fediverse posts

In case you missed it, a recap of my week. First, we should acknowledge that my irregular sleep habits and my lack of sustainable nutritional uptake fueled this week's technological adventure. I took my stock #ASUS RT-AX89X and flashed the #firmware with #OpenWrt. That was in itself a challenge. Then, after lots of failures and starting from ground zero countless times, I finally took this behemoth of enterprise hardware crammed into a consumer package and transformed it into the powerhouse it truly is.

I have full #WireGuard and #ProtonVPN with lots of bypass rules. I have a full #firewall with several special traffic rules. I set up PBR (Policy-Based Routing). I have #banIP and #Adblock — network-level and DNS-level threat blocking, running side by side. I have a full guest interface and SSID, a full secure interface and SSID. Special #DNS set up with #Quad9. I even managed to increase my storage on the router to 117 GB by employing extroot on /overlay.

I can now run the space-age version of home networking.

This was no small feat of perseverance — as much as it was brute force and stubborn willpower on my end. In my younger days this would have been a bit easier. Now my eyes do not see all that well, my brain really does not function correctly, recall of simple and complex protocols simply is not there. I use several search agents to assist remembering what I once knew. I had nearly an 80 percent downtime internet-wise experience going through this, which really complicated matters.

Then there is the human toll. I was basically awake and sitting in front of my laptop for the better part of the entire week non-stop. Not to mention my computer's failing keyboard and mouse that like to interject randomly. Then the fact eating nearly was impossible between the lack of actual foods and the ability to step away long enough to care for myself.

But hey, here it is Friday, and this disabled man existing in poverty took a stubborn, robust piece of hardware and transformed it into a powerful network routing machine.

Would I suggest doing this to anyone else? It depends. Are you ready to commit yourself to the insanity of countless trials and errors and the endless stream of forcing focus? I am but a simple failing human. Surely there are better suited for such an adventure. But I shall warn you, this is a labor of desperation and love. You must be prepared to commit to such adventure. But if you succeed, it is well worth the effort and knowledge you gain along the way. And no, do not ask me for help. I swear I pulled this off by the seat of my pants flying at Mach 9.

What it does: routes my main LAN through #ProtonVPN with bypasses for my server, email, and TV. Runs a fully isolated guest network with per-guest rate limits. Sandboxes my IoT devices with no internet access. Blocks roughly 33,000 malicious IPs and roughly 335,000 ad and tracker domains. Survives reboots, with a verified backup stored off-device.

You can encourage my continued useless #poetry, creativity and expression of self, #commentary, random thoughts, #philosophy and ideas, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

*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.

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...

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.

Cần hỗ trợ: Khi chạy stack arr (gluetun + ProtonVPN WireGuard → qBittorrent) với gói 1 Gbps, tốc độ tải xuống ổn (10‑15 MiB/s) nhưng upload chỉ < 100 KB/s. Người dùng không chắc bị throttling hay cấu hình sai (port‑forward, firewall, VPN). Muốn tìm giải pháp cải thiện tốc độ upload. #ProtonVPN #Gluetun #qBittorrent #VPN #Network #TốcĐộ #Upload #SelfHosted #Linux #Docker
