Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I’m pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

Pretty neat. Paid plans only, though.

I only use paid VPNs, but I generally want all traffic to go through them because it’s hard to not have “random” stuff go out otherwise.

Their paid plans are really sweet tho. If I pick servers close to my location I get sub 40 ms ping, even tunneling through two servers, and you have basically unlimited bandwidth. Easily > 500 MBit/s.

And that’s only like 7.something €/$ per month, including all their other stuff, (500 GB cloud storage, E2EE calendar, multiple mail addresses and whatever else is to come).

That does seem like a pretty good value. Once drive is usable, I may just have to get a paid plan.
