I’ve used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).

But I’ve increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to “shop around”

Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad… except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.

So are there any other good options?

Thanks

    I did provide evidence. you’re asking for more evidence.

      No, you provided a conspiracy theory that fit your explicit biases. If you had bothered to actually read the link you provided, you would know they didn’t provide any evidence to support their claim that Israel is hacking Proton.

        the claim isn’t that Israel is hacking proton. the claim is that proton routed traffic through an IDF affiliate.

          Now the “Switzerland” based privacy firm is proxied by an Israeli firm for traffic analysis, network exploitation of users, cryptographic monkeying

          It literally claims that the traffic was routed expressly for the purpose. You didn’t read the article.

            I read it when it was published and stashed it for opportunities like this.

              Then you didn’t read it very good, if you not only missed the fact the article was alleging Proton was hacked by Israel, as well as believe it provides proof of that claim when it does not.

                the post is mostly verifiable information with two sentences of speculation that you seem to think is the crux of what I said, when, in fact, all I said is that routing traffic through Israel dimishes my trust in proton.

                  So your position is that they did something you didn’t like a decade ago, and so that makes them untrustworthy now?

                  At least you’ve admitted that your argument is nothing more than an opinion.

                    trustworthiness is always a matter of opinion.
