#protonvpn — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

@rebane2001 Just use the #BraveBrower with #ProtonVPN and you’re good to go

Hi @tailscale First of all thank you for the amazing tech you guys are building. I have a small request to make. Currently tailscale only supports #mulvadvpn and it has come to light that Mulvad's founder is the major contributor for the far right Sweden party. Under these circumstances people are exiting Mulvad. But Tailscale only supports Mulvad. Please give at least one more choice to the users. I personally would ask for #protonvpn as they have generous free tier and are a prominent player.

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.

So Proton is supporting far-right French YouTuber Vincent Lapierre and the founder of Mullvad is supporting Örebro Party so also right wing extremist things

not to mention proton not being as private as you might think

Video about it: https://www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=Tf-fmWi8FRA

why are both:

• Proton VPN
• Mullvad VPN

so shitty?

the two most private VPNs

for anyone asking the best you can do at this point is selfhost it i guess.

which sucks but that is what i will probably do

今のところ Linux ユーザー限定のようですが。デスクトップ版 VIvaldi を使っていて、VPN機能をオフにしてるのに VPN 関連のアラート等が表示される場合（不具合？）があるようです。

その場合 VIvaldi の機能設定ではなく。VPN サービスの拡張機能（Proton VPN）の方をオフにする（またはアンインストールする）と、表示されなくなるようです。

@ArthurCravan Pardon pour mon ignorance... #ProtonVPN est dans un cas similaire? Ou c'est à cause de la potentielle nouvelles législation suisse?
