    Proton. They’re a great company, and offer more services than just a VPN.

    They’re also the only for profit (at the time) company I’ve ever seen say, “Hey, our cost of running the services has dropped, so we’re lowering our prices.”

    One cool feature they offer is their secure core servers. Basically, your traffic bounces to a server in a neutral country (Switzerland for instance), then back to a US server so it looks like your traffic is from the US on the website’s end. This does noticeably increase latency, though (~200ms for me)

      It’s called competition!

      Easy to forget that, everyone once in awhile, anticompetitive monopolism, collusion, or ad propaganda aren’t there…
