Cancelled my years long subscription today. Any company that bows down to tRump should be avoided. Vote with your wallet.
I did the same! No more proton unlimited! It is better to use products from multiple companies instead of one.
Who did you switch to? I’m looking to leave proton too with all this.
Mullvad, Tuta, Bitwarden.
Have you used these 3 before (or currently)?
I’ve used bitwarden and mulvad for years. Recommend both without hesitation.
I’ve been using Tuta since 2016, on paid plan since 2019.
Outside a single longer outage early on I had nothing but good experience with their service. Granted, I only care about email and calendar (the only two products they have at the moment) but both work without any issues.
And honestly, I probably wouldn’t use a VPN from them unless it was included for no extra charge. I prefer to keep my services separated.
That’s my stance as well. Having to switch everything every time something goes wrong is too much of a pain.
I heard they’re good and I have just recently created accounts for them.
I use that exact stack. Bitwarden for 3 years Mullvad and Tuta for one. Can’t speak to their ethics or anything I wouldn’t know. But the quality of service has been great for me at least
Tuta mail is garbage. Used it for over a year and the search was terrible event when using the exact text from the mail. They also deleted my account despite me actively using it.
Look for a different mail service.
I use Tuta, and while the search kinda sucks, it’s good enough, you just need to make sure you have all mail downloaded that’s being searched (last 30 days IIRC).
I picked them because they have similar privacy as Proton with lower prices and features I like (i.e. 3 domain names).
Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding
I believe AirVPN is the last respected VPN that allows port forwarding.
I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.
AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.
Options are drying up 😢
for mail, Mailbox.org (originally I said posteo but I was unable to get the payment to go through. idk why). For drive, calendar, contacts, passwords, I’m working on setting up nextcloud but it’s not ready yet. I still have a few months before I’m downgraded. for VPN, I’m still looking for alternatives.
More bandwidth for the rest of us!
