I'm thinking on potentionally subscribing for an Unlimited with a student discount.

Are you satisfied with it's current services? I've seen mixed reviews from ProtonVPN. Someone loves it, someone despises it. Also does Proton Pass offer any convenience benefits over Bitwarden?

it is, but don't use their VPN, it's vulnerable to tunnelvision

iVPN and Mullvad are the only two I'm aware of that are immune to tunnelvision

What risks would I face by using a vpn without tunnelvision immunity?

[–] EmperorHenry@infosec.pub 3 points 5 months ago

all your traffic being intercepted by a malicious actor that hacked a wifi router

it should be noted that on a home network tunnelvision is not a real risk, only on e.g. restaurants and stuff like that

depends on the password and encryption you use on your home router. If your router is a VPN router, then your risk is significantly less, but not zero
