Thanks.
I have a hard time finding any place in that article thay says anything about the NZ government having control of mega though.

Do you happen to have a (credible) source on the NZ governement owning/controlling/hosting mega?

I have no idea, but i found this guide.
Maybe that can help you?

I don’t think that’s true.
I get push notofications on my degoogled phone.

At the very least it’s super weird.
I don’t get why they don’t focus on creating partity and add the bare minimum functions like sync for drive and split tunnel for vpn on all devices before spreading out to password managers and so on.
I’m slowly losing confidence in them.

I just had a look and as far as i can tell ProtonVPN suppports everything Mullvad does. On windows…
On linux you get fuckall settings. No split tunneling, no dns, no wireguard, no nothing. There seems to be no parity between linux and windows. That is less than poorly supported, it’s atrocious tbh.
On windows you even get a fancy map with triangles that shows server locations that can be used to quick connect.
And this is with an unlimited account so i don’t believe it’s an account level limit.

Edit: I just looked and to be fair they do state in the plan features that Split tunneling is only available on Android and Windows

Thanks for the in depth answer.
I think a paid account has more features, but i of course don’t know if they apply to the linux client.
I’ll check the features once i get on my pc and get back to you.
I might even spin up a windows VM to check the differences between the versions if i can find the time.

Just out of curiosity. How is it poorly supported?
I haven’t used it much yet, but the times i have it seems to have worked fine.
