    The fuck is “TailOS”

    Also what about

    • Gentoo
    • Alpine
    • NixOS

    Just to name a few

    NordVPN is full of garbage. Use Mullvad, IVPN, Incognet or Tailscale instead

            Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it. But what do you mean I don’t need it like I think I do?

              Whatever you think you need port forwarding for can probably be better accomplished using something like tailscale or wireguard. The reason most vpns dont support forwarding and some used to but dropped it is because its just not worth the hassle andc creates an additional way for your IP to be leaked.

                Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.

                  Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won’t make your downloads any faster.

                    If you don’t have port forwarding, you can only connect to peers that do.

                    If you have port forwarding, there’s more potential peers to connect to. So yes it can make downloads faster.

        Seconded. Proton’s CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn’t even try hiding it.

        I’ve canceled my Proton subscription and I’m going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.

          Last year Andy yen also moved proton to non profit proton foundation with majority shares of the company and 5 trustees of which Andy yen is only one. The majority stakeholder in Proton AG is now legally bound to do whats best for Proton and their stated mission

          So yeah Andy is kissing the ring and being a shit human but he’s not the entirety of proton. Still weird Andy from Switzerland felt the need to proclaim his love for trump though.

          If you find another privacy focused email/vpn provider from a non14 eyes country that is owned by a non profit foundation then id be genuinely be interested but last i checked other alternatives are still full capitalist machines that haven’t put privacy over profit.

            If the CEO of a privacy selling company is going out of his way to gobble blatantly fascist knob with official accounts in a business whose primary security vulnerability is the business itself, at best he’s angling to get more business by trying to make things worse for people.

            Also, non profit means nothing. It’s not a business plan, it’s not an ethical judgement, and it’s not an analysis of financial responsibility.

            It’s a tax status.

            I am using tuta mail. Super basic and lacks features but it works and seems to have good rep in privacy communities.

          I was using Proton and SimpleLogin. Didn’t have a subscription, but was planning on it when I could afford it. Thank fuck I saw this shit and moved away before giving them a cent of my money.

      TailOS is what happens when someone gets the for browser and decides to make it a full distro (and also make the distro only run from USB)
