I've used NordVPN for a couple of years and never had reason to switch. None of it gets in my way, and it's just worked.
I'm sure others are just the same, but ive no reason to put in effort to change when I have a working solution.
Plus it's double effort cus I dont think anyone else does a meshnet alternative so I'd be setting up tailscale too.
Meshnet is going to be discontinued.
There’s also local share that is free open source that does the same thing. It’s been around for some time now and can be installed on most devices.
Why would I want a calendar with my vpn subscription? It's like bundling a barbecue with your purchase of a new jacket.
Probably the same reason it had email. For task managing. It's what you expect worth Proton being it's brand
If you're referring to their announcement last year about discontinuing meshnet, they've retracted that.
I know there are alternatives but why would I go to any effort to set them up when i have something that has worked exactly as I want it to for the last 2yrs? The cost of nordvpn is sufficiently low enough that I wouldn't switch to something just because it's free.
You do you. I have trust issues with companies switching their motto every two seconds. I’d rather not be complacent to instability nor discourage anyone who expects some basic standards of consistency where they spend their money.
For me, that's not compelling. We all have different priorities.
Exactly.
