If you use the config file generator from the Proton website, you can have a Wiregard config tailor-made to load in NetworkManager for instance. Or several with or without NAT, different exits and so on.

I don’t know how this isn’t widely known, it’s been there for a while.

I am a full Proton paying customer too. At the time of signup, a Drive Linux client was supposedly next in line… There’s zero mention of it now. I need a VPN IRL and wasn’t keen on relying on a free plan where I was used to pay for one anyway. Aaaand I planned to move my emails of course since it’s in the bundle.

I’d gladly uplift people and advocate for progress on the privacy and security fronts, invite world+dog to join but I can’t do it now in this situation. Linux users being underserved is how I feel.

Mandatory “I use Arch BTW” mention.

That Boss guy says it there, Linux customership is negligible. I was happy to switch to an ethical ecosystem, but at the end of the day Proton is a company that runs for profit.

Nevermind that this specific Linux customership is exponentially sensitive to privacy and security next to the average windows user, our money still doesn’t matter.

It’s… annoying. Drive is relegated to weekly Dead Stupid Backups while Dropbox gives me real filesharing, VPN is highly unstable next to my former… dare I mention it? Yes: next to NkrdVPN which was ultra reliable anywhere I went, and Mail is only used for the passmail obfuscation since I don’t think I’ll stay with proton and didn’t switch my main mail to it.

I’d be curious to know if the userbase of proton products reflects that of general statistics of OS’es repartition.

Reconcile these two axioms:

1. Every Lemmy out there is using (arch) linux exclusively, both at home and at work

2. Every post on c/linux is about ditching windows very soon and choosing the best linux distribution

That’s a Nobel Prize in (creative) mathematics right here!

Up/Down speed is my feeling, but “negotiations” between client and server too.

I never had the VPN app to work, I use the config file generator then set it up in NetworkMamager - which at least work all the time.

Done, you’re right

So slow and cumbersome. Sorry my benchmark is dropbox

I got it in my proton mailbox

https://form.typeform.com/to/L0UNpRar

The mail says “Limited submissions. Respond now to ensure your voice is heard.”

Go for it!

I answered “I want safeguards in place towards the purpose and final use of LLM’s output”.

The mail even says “Limited submissions. Respond now to ensure your voice is heard.”

Go for it!

I guess the 1st highest-voted feature request is a Linux client for Proton Drive?

Annoying. I am more and more disappointed as I progress through my year plan ; I don’t think I will renew.
