As the title says, I have been using Proton Unlimited for almost a year; I mainly use Proton Pass, VPN and mail. Mail and Pass are pretty good. However, proton VPN is hit and miss because of the constant loading, slow and unreliable servers.
As the saying goes: don’t put all eggs in the same basket
I want opinions from current and previous Proton Unlimited users.
I’m also using Bitwarden; however, the UI is a big deal for me because me being a visual person. I still use it here and there.
I’ve heard they will have a visual overhaul soon; looking forward to it + thinking of self-hosting it. Even though I’m fairly new to “self hosting” any beginner self hosting tips and tricks would be appreciated.
Is it possible you tried Keepass? I thought Bitwarden’s UI was pretty good and modern, and that’s one of the silly reasons why I picked it over keepass long time ago
I have tried KeepassX. However, I had some file conflict issues and stopped using it. Regarding the password manager, my reason is similar to what you have said, but instead, I moved to proton pass from Bitwarden.
I would strongly advise against using the official Bitwarden server, and instead use something called Vaultwarden, which is API-compatible with Bitwarden but way easier to host.
I give VW a 5/5 on the arbitrary “easy to self-host with premium features” scale, and have never evaluated BitWarden proper (as it claims, among other things, to require six gigabytes of storage just to function).
Experiment with self hosting on things that don’t matter first. Many services allow you to pay by the hour, so the commitment is low.
