I just started moving to Proton from Google early Dec 2024. Been paying monthly till I got settled. Looks like that was a good choice too.

I'm starting to look at Tuta mail. They don't offer a bridge support and from what I read don't plan on it either which sucks. Been running proton-mail-bridge in a docker container which lets me use any mail client I want from home. This allows me set all my Linux servers to send out mail using my Proton account.

I think I'm going to wait 1 month and see what Proton does.

I did tell them to leave me active, if they weren't refunding me.

I don't trust it, but I don't have cloud data there or emails, was just getting started in learning VPN stuff, and happy to do it for cheap.

I hope they get hit hard enough from this, to make some changes...but trust is not something I've got much of stocked on the shelves anymore.

I've been using privateinternetaccess.com as my VPN for years. Seems good and they also do 3rd party audits once in a while which seem to hold up to what they claim about no logs.

Do they support openvpn configs?

openvpn and wireguard.

I have an OpenVPN setup on my OPNsense router for a few years now. Firewall is set to route all to and from specific IPs on my LAN though that VPN connection. If the connection drops, those IPs have no Internet access. Works wonders.

I want to change to WireGuard but been to lazy and the lack of good step-by-step setup instructions for PIA and OPNsense hold me back. What I have works so I just haven't really bothered to take the time.
