Basically I started with mullvad then turned to proton but after they introduced AI and a crypto wallet I’m just looking for what peoples opinions are.

EDIT: Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions :D

God damn that's complicated compared to PIA

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 22 points 2 months ago

Pia is owned by very sketchy Kape Technologies, just FYI.

Yeah but their stack is open source, with no evidence of wrongdoing, and proven no log track record. Their servers have no persistent storage. The threat model isn't the fuckin NSA lol

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago

While PIA Might not have done any wrong doing, Kape Technologies definitely has. Imo, it's not worth funding.

I have a proton subscription but it's not worth the effort to port forward until their app can do it

I dont know why that has you doing so much, I use port forwarding with proton vpn and all I did was press a button in the proton vpn app and it was on.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That's the manual setup for use cases like on a server or whatever (a common place where you would need port forwarding)

What OS?

[-] Fyurion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Windows 11

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Ah that'll do it. Seems more effort has been put into the windows app
