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).

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.

Can you explain this? Are you vulnerable because they are too mainstream?

If you’re satisfied with mullvad, i would stick to it. The main problem it runs into is that it doesn’t support port forwarding which is an issue if you use torrents a lot. That’s the main advantage that proton reserves.

In a recent e-mail they mentioned an open Linux dev position, so hopefully the Linux client will catch up soon enough!

What Linux issues are those?
