In a major win for open-source enthusiasts, Proton VPN has officially launched its proprietary Stealth protocol in beta for Linux.
Open-source enthusiasts and proprietary software? That does not sound like the happy union.
It’s the author conflating “Linux” and “open source”. In their statement, Proton states “Linux community” snd the author promptly writes “open source community”. Knowing the difference between the two seems like a requirement to write for a tech publication, but maybe that’s just my crazy opinion.
I’ll never trust Proton, not with all the “headlines” they can’t seem to stop making
I’ve not seen a single article about Proton that’s made me abandon them. Diversified away from, yes, but not abandon.
The privacy community will be under fire from very powerful interests, so I also take all criticism with a mountain of salt.
Whatever your comfort level, I hope that turns out OK for you.
I’m only using providers who have zero “nazi incidents”
Which Proton incident(s) do you consider “nazi”?
The ones that the Proton CEO knows about - he’s the one whose name keeps miraculously appearing next to “Trump” and “GOP.”
I use providers who are not “nazi-adjacent”
Would you mind pointing to a specific example? I know he praised a Trump appointee a while back, regarding approach to big tech. Was there another?
Out of curiosity which VPN do you recommend? I have Bazzite and it seemed like Proton was the best choice.
Proton is fine.
The CEO has said some troubling things, but the products themselves are fine for now. It is one thing to be cautious, but it is a problem when you use the ramblings and comments of an executive as an excuse to ignore how the company actually operates.
If it were like the MyPillow guy I could understand, but we are not there.
Proton is fine
for Nazis
