Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

Ugh, I use proton for VPN and email. Any suggestions for decent VPN at this point?
I've used Mullvad for a couple of years now and they're great.
Unless you never want to torrent, I would not choose mullvad. Torrenting requires port forwarding if you properly want to give back to the community, which mullvad doesn't support.
Sadly, mullvad doesn't rotate their IPs so they often get blocked and detected. You're kicked off many websites and services
Thank you!
AirVPN is great, allows port forwarding, 5 devices, and they run very good black Friday specials every year if you decide to buy it after trialling.
I don't have any complaints with Nord but other people seem to.
I had it for over a year and then, one day, every time I stepped outside my home, it would go into “connecting…” and never come back.
I’d have to go into settings and completely deleted it, then re-add. I gave up, and went to proton. Literally zero issues until the ceo started praising nazis
Nord has no port forwarding. No deal
Very few VPNs have that
A lot of connectivity issues in some countries, and the app is often bugged when switching servers
