Hey @protonmail @protonprivacy !

First, thanks a lot for your responsiveness. It feels great to keep in touch with my favourite service providers 😁

I'm a Mail Plus user, considering Unlimited, to use VPN. Given the "conflict" with DNS settings when switching on a VPN, how do you see your ad-blockkbg capabilities versus, for example, #nextdns ?

I believe #nextdns might be more configurable, but overall protection level is probably equal to the one of #protonVPN ?

You are welcome. By the way, I posted a guide here for Proton VPN & NextDNS on iOS / ipadOS / macOS:

For Android it is simpler, as you don't need the whole configuration profile and adaptation of config part:

  1. Download the WireGuard App from the Play Store / Aurora / WireGuard homepage+ download the WireGuard config from https://account.protonvpn.com

  2. Import the config and enable the tunnel into the WireGuard app

  3. Set the private DNS in the Android Network settings to the *DNS-over-TLS/QUIC" Address you can find at https://my.nextdns.io -> Setup
