Anyone use Proton VPN? It gets recommended by most privacy sites (without affiliate links) and ProtonMail is stellar but I’m finding it terrible. It’s either very slow or doesn’t work at all

I use it at the office and sometimes on mobile next to few other vpns. I am happy with it and would recommend it. They have a lot of servers worldwide.

Proton is accused of working with law officials so if you derp into privacy I suggest to use vpn services you could pay with #bitcoin or even monero.

Yeah I’ve read a lot of good reviews by happy users. Mine is 🐶 💩 most of the time. I’m using it more for privacy against other sites so they have no reason to give my details to authorities but yeah I saw they did something similar with ProtonMail a few years ago

privacy protect n authority investigating 2 different thing n risk. u can use combo or servvices depending on ur need

Yeah and it gets expensive too 😂

right - really depends on user case. like nostr is almost NOT usable via tor beyond basic function so far - 90% r on clearnet - but bitcoin n lnd >70% are on onion -- nostr will go there codes etc takes time

Haven’t had any problems

I use it for email and vpn, never had issues

In that case, I think it could be my mobile provider throttling it

I use nord

I used to and was happy with it but proton does a good deal with encrypted email and storage. Nord had a privacy exploit too I believe

Cool. I used Nord for three years. Was a happy customer. Just Proton do a better deal and it had good reviews from privacy people. Proton has been much worse than my experience with Nord so far

No, try ivpn or Mullvad - both take lightning payments

I'm using Proton VPN right now. Everything seems to be okay.

Yeah Mullvad is great. Having done some tests it looks like it’s my mobile provider that’s throttling it

Works for me
