Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

    Give AirVPN a chance. The website looks terrible but it’s a great service and port forwarding is far simpler than Proton’s weird solution

      Update: I just signed up for AirVPN, but speeds are very slow. With both Nord and Proton, spp d tests come back at ~800/700 on my gigabit fiber. The fastest AirVPN server I’ve found is 60/10, most are 10/10.

      Is this normal in your experience (just a slow VPN service) or do you know of anything I can do to get faster speeds? (I’m using the Eddie client on windows)

      Looks like they’re taking advantage of the controversy with a sale! Requested my 30 day money back from Proton, and signed up for AirVPN ($10 cheaper!)
