I’ve used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).
But I’ve increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to “shop around”
Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad… except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.
So are there any other good options?
Thanks
Try Orbot. I use it and works pretty great.
If you plan to torrent with your vpn. Tor isn’t a good idea. If you use it just as A VPN it could be fine ig.
If I’m not mistaken Orbot passes traffic through the Tor network which will significantly reduce network speeds.
Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
Yes you are right. That is why I said it could be fine. I think most people will find it too slow. And also route all your phone traffic through tor isn’t a great idea neither because most services block Tor IP anyway.
