Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Mullvad is proven. Not that proton is not, but there were a few controversies about their operations.

Mullvad is accepting payments with actual private crypto currencies. Mullvad had authorities visit their operations site, demanding data and left empty handed as they did not have anything to offer. The same cannot be said for proton. I personally like that they do not offer free services and that they are advocating for privacy through ads and foss projects like the mullvad browser.

Proton is only publishing on f-droid, their vpn and recently their pass application. They have yet to provide notification services for de-googled devices after years of community demands. They have opt out telemetry.(except the proton pass through f-droid.) while mullvad does not, correct me if I am wrong on this.

Since you asked about the VPN, everything mullvad is running is on ram so nothing is saved. (I think this is only for their owned servers though not all of them.)

That being said, I use the proton suite as there is no other alternative right now and the casual user in me is satisfied. :)

Hello,

For the two people that probably have chosen to use the option to import a file through the KDE settings.

If you face the issue where you still see your IP and ISP on ip.me, that might be due to the WiFi configuration having the ipv6 enabled.

Go to WiFi settings and disable the ipv6, reconnect and you should be good to go.

I think you are confusing phones, PCs, consoles and music.

Sony phones are by no means worse than stock google phones. They offer very close to stock experience.

I mean their opinions are welcome but it is also lunacy to expect casual users to maintain or setup keepass+syncthing.

They fail to realize that these news are welcome and can only positively benefit open source projects.

I think that minimum wage being a livable salary, is less complicated.

Try the mullvad browser as well, it's scoring amazingly in fingerprinting tests.

Regarding mullvad (lemm.ee)

Hello all,

I am running fedora with mullvad (wireguard) straight from the network settings with a configuration file.

According to https://mullvad.net/en/check everything is fine but I want to know if I am set for torrenting now that they have removed port forwarding and I cannot bind qbittorrent to the vpn.

Should I adjust anything or am I set? What was the benefit of port forwarding?

If you ever get bored of Ubuntu. You could try fedora kde, the recent versions are so good.

Don't forget to install codecs though.
