Cancelled my years long subscription today. Any company that bows down to tRump should be avoided. Vote with your wallet.
I did the same! No more proton unlimited! It is better to use products from multiple companies instead of one.
Who did you switch to? I'm looking to leave proton too with all this.
Mullvad, Tuta, Bitwarden.
Have you used these 3 before (or currently)?
I've used bitwarden and mulvad for years. Recommend both without hesitation.
I use that exact stack. Bitwarden for 3 years Mullvad and Tuta for one. Can’t speak to their ethics or anything I wouldn’t know. But the quality of service has been great for me at least
I've been using Tuta since 2016, on paid plan since 2019.
Outside a single longer outage early on I had nothing but good experience with their service. Granted, I only care about email and calendar (the only two products they have at the moment) but both work without any issues.
I heard they’re good and I have just recently created accounts for them.
Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding
I believe AirVPN is the last respected VPN that allows port forwarding.
I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.
AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.
Options are drying up 😢
for mail, posteo. For drive, calendar, contacts, passwords, I'm working on setting up nextcloud but it's not ready yet. I still have a few months before I'm downgraded. for VPN, I'm still looking for alternatives.
More bandwidth for the rest of us!
