They’re not selfhosted, and are commercial. While they’re okay now they can rug pull at any moment, it’s nice to have alternatives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How is that ghetto lol. Now, I’d understand if you were like me with a crusty ass laptop in the corner of my room 2500km away from me, running some Linux and 4 external hard drives, but Xeon and ghetto?

Pardon the overly curious question, but how much did that cost you? It looks stunning but I can’t help but wonder how many legs I’d have to sell to make something like that haha

A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.

No offense but I find the “worse than the US” statement kind of insensitive, and I hear it all too often. Not to delve into politics, but let’s just say the US at least HAS meds, like, at all. If you’re filthy rich, you can get it, and ADHD is a recognized and treated disorder. Back home it’s just illegal and unrecognized…

At least personally to me it goes to show that it’s not out of the question

Personally I don’t trust Proton. I know I’m paranoid, but can’t be too sure about anything these days. To my knowledge MV and IVPN are the only ones with a nice privacy reputation. Shame they are cutting port forwarding

No public audits - I don’t trust. Italy is also not exactly a privacy (and personal rights) haven.
