As someone who has recently started seeding as much as I can, this is a great question to which I don't have the answer.
I am not renewing my Proton yearly subscription after it ends due to recent developments. They seem to be the only "big name" VPN with the port forwarding feature. I heard of OpenVPN, but have not had a chance to dig into it too much.
My ISP does not provide IPV6 support, so this will be pretty important to sort out soon.
I seem to be out of the loop in regards to proton controversy and I haven’t found anything outstanding against them…
Can you help me understand what you’re specifically referring to? I’m a proton user… so kinda want to know lol
as far as I can tell their CEO is a semi alt right cunt. Apart from that everythin seems pretty okay and the recent shift to nonprofit status is cool
Holy shit dude, talk about binary braindead mentalities. Yeah, it's true that a lot of the discussion around this misses a lot of important information, but this shit is literally a matter life and death here now for some people, and Andy Yen made that post right in the middle of a whole bunch of tech CEOs all kissing the ring. Americans are on edge for a damn good reason. That's a good article, and I'm pretty convinced the whole thing was overblown, but if you can't understand the difference between not trusting the guy who just praised a fascist and "trying to infect the rest of the world" then don't fucking talk about other people being too binary in their thinking.
Can't understand the difference between defending people who made a hasty decision when their life is on the line if they trust the wrong person and still supporting that decision now that there's been time to analyze things? Wow, you're 2 for 2 on the bullshit binary thinking on the basis of your bullshit stereotypes. Good job!
You complain about "binary thinking" and then go on to claim that all Beehaw users think alike?
But I have already sharpened my pitchfork.
Thanks for sharing the other side of the story.
Thanks for sharing this. I saw Andy's tweet and the outrage and did not form an understanding deeper than "people who dislike Trump are upset at Proton".
I've bookmarked this link and will share it when I see this topic brought up.
Thank you for posting this, it's convincing.
Hear, hear!
