I don't use a VPN, instead I use a private DNS , currently zero.Dns0.eu ,there's also quad9.
Using VPN and private DNS can alllow private DNS leaks
Do y'all use a VPN? If yes, which ones do you recommend?
They just added multi-hop to the iOS app and it will probably come for Android soon. You can do it today by generating a Wireguard profile on their website and using it with a generic Wireguard app.
Windscribe, hands-down. They're open-source and use Freemium pricing, so it's completely free if you use up to 10 GB per month (or 11 GB if you don't mind using a referral link - https://windscribe.com/yo/v40g2xlr)
Their speeds are faster than Proton, even at the free tiers, and also permit Netflix/streaming and tormenting/p2p, they frequently have big discounts and giveaways for pro plans, and some pro plans start at $1/mo. They're my absolute favorite VPN and I'm always shocked they're not more well known.

I like Mullvad. One thing you should realize though is that using a VPN can also make for some annoyances like being blocked from some sites or not being able to participate or post on some platforms.

The user who posted this got deleted but can someone elaborate.
Without making a stance on any of this and trying to be netural and informational about the subject:
They advocate for far-left leaning things.
I'm not saying its right or wrong, just stating the fact. If anyone wants to research this outside of the forum, go ahead but lets not talk about this matter here.

Thank you for the information. I've been concerned about a few other things with them anyways and been pretty happy with Tuta and mullvad instead tbh
000000 i heared that proton sold out a usetbbecauae he skipped school.
It is best if claims about entities having taken some action are accompanied by some specific support, such as citing a source.
Otherwise I could write something like "I heard that discussion forum users whose usernames are just a sequence of zeroes are generally crypto thieves".
My problem with Proton is that they are trying to hold as much central power in the "privacy community" as possible. They are also making it harder to avoid them because they are buying up other privacy companies. They also do everything but they are not the best at anything because they don't have a central focus. I take issue with the mindset that gainig users is more important than improving the existing services they offer.
000000 Are you be referring to this article perhaps?
https://protonmail.com/blog/climate-activist-arrest/
They handed over their customer's data which was not much, just the IP number, in this case it was enough to track him down though. I wonder if it's permittable for email servers to delete their logs like they do with vpn servers.
de0u this is the article:
And the Video is called:
ProtonMail sends user ip and device info to swiss authorities
On youtube
Byku oh i read that..
my stance is that the authorities knew they /he was using proton then he was negligent.
it is like that student who sent a bomb alert to delay exam using tor from the campus wifi
all they had to do was look to the wifi record who connected to tor
would you say tor is to blame? that they are not as anonymous as they claim to be?

Viewpoint0232 HA! They have been saying "soon" for so many years. Just like proton does with certain features. it will never happen.
Every "privacy" centric company is basically forced (yes, forced, you know what i mean) to do penance by giving up SOME kind of key protection. For Proton it's recovery info and no monero, for Mullvad it's no multihop for android. For Signal for a long time it was blasting your phone number everywhere and still is downloading only from google play, these kinds of things.
