This is what I get when going to Reddit while connected to Proton VPN, connected to a server in the same country I live in.

    Private Internet Access is a solid VPN but is definitely flagged by any sites pulling this bullshit.

      PIA was bought out and is currently owned by an ad company.

        Any suggestions that haven’t been? I don’t stay in the loop, I think I heard that they had been but so had everyone else, basically.

          I’ve been using Proton for 4ish years now and like it. Email, VPN, drive, and calendar. I use something else instead of proton pass, but just for diversity.

            Yeah I already have web/mail hosting, and the rest self hosted. How is proton with getting flagged by sites and swimming in captchas or outright blocks? I kinda just assumed they all struggled with that these days.

              I don’t struggle a lot with it. Occasionally I’ll have an issues, but it’s not bad at all. Sometimes I have to switch severs, but I’ll usually find a working one in 1-2 tries.

              The only outright block I run into is sometimes .gov sites won’t let me in unless I’m set to a us server.

      Really? I use PIA all the time and haven’t had any issues with normal internet usage including reddit. Wirst I get is google making me check a captcha box once in a while.

            I’ve been very happy with the whole Proton suite for almost 4 years now (though, I’ve never used the free plan)
