How about you use MullVad?
I'm not being a dick. Proton had enough info on French climate activists to sell them out.
Extinction Rebellion types may be the most anemic politics I've seen in my life, so the idea they're locking up people attracted to something that lame... it's like locking me up for piracy. Fuck Proton.
Also Mullvad server's are way better for p2p and they don't try to get more money out of you.
Are you escaping NATO intelligence with my knowledge here? Fuck no. Look at Mullvaf's servers list and it's basically a rundown of every country whose security situation is bad enough that it likely permits the CIA to do what it wants.
Also your OS is compromised.
Because I already pay for Proton for drive, mail, and other services. I've used Mullvad in the past, and I definitely prefer it as a simple torrenting VPN, but Proton offers a lot more.
That's valid but I would still go with options that don't bill themselves as private only to hand over info to feds. I like Tuta.mail because they don't try to get a phone number out of me lol. Cloud services are abundant. You do you though, I get the feeling neither of us is slinging MDMA and privacy is just a technical requirement.
Don't listen to them. Mullvad is a bad VPN for torrenting, they don't even have port forwarding. Also tun0 is what you want to bind your qBittorrent to.
