Oh do they now …? How much are they? My PIA will be expiring next year and I’m not liking for they’re shying away from port forwarding (especially on the android tv app)
I feel like they’re going to pu$$y out and pull a Mullvad soon.
Yeah, I switched to them after mullvad (i
I also tried airvpn before Proton) and it works great.
One extremely annoying thing with Proton VPN is that the port changes after every single (re)connection so you need to reconfigure your torrent client.
Fortunately there is a fork of the VPN client I use which automatically configures qbittorrent with the new port.
Same. I don’t even use it for torrenting. Been using it more and more just for simply browsing the web.
Proton’s great for torrenting since they support port forwarding for their paid tiers.

Ah. OK thanks. Usenet is way better than torrents imo so I haven’t needed a vpn in over a decade.
Man I really gotta look into that further…

I have this problem as well, been joking to myself that it’s “the price I pay” for using an otherwise fantastic VPN lol.
