Exactly. Their VPN app on Linux does not even have WireGuard options, let alone the Stealth Protocol. No port-forwarding either. There are so mamy features on Windows that they do not provide Linux users.
I just use Wireguard for ProtonVPN. Just download the wireguard config and import it into wireguard
I change servers very frequently. For that I have to download a lot of config files. Considering, I am paying Proton just as much a Windows user, I shouldn't have to do all this work.
The Windows app is first coming to Proton Lifetime accounts and will be made available to Visionary users later. Beta invites will be sent out at a later stage.
I hate their way of managing so much.
I pay them nearly $150 per month, but I don't have lifetime or visionary so I'm just screwed and treated like scum.
How about roll it out to everyone that pays at the same time? I understand maybe holding back on free users, but why screw over your paying users? So ridiculous. I don't know of any other company that does this.
I got a Synology NAS and been using Synology Drive and it's been a really great private hosted alternative to Google drive, Dropbox etc.
I'm presonally using QNAP with the Qfile app in in combination with Tailscale, a combination which pretty much allows me to sync and access my files anywhere. However, the issue is that there's no end-to-end encryption of storage unless you specifically mount a Veracrypt volume on your NAS, which is a bit painful to do on mobile OSes. This may or may not be so important because you're not storing your data in some random cloud storage service, but would be nice nonetheless.
However, another more serious issue is that the operating systems and apps of these NAS appliances (Synology and QNAP) are closed source and the companies are both based in Taiwan. I have no way of knowing what the software on these appliances and their accompanying apps are doing and whether they are sending my data back to their mothership. Because of this I'm looking into building a Linux-based rack/tower NAS server using old off-the-shelf parts, but this will take me a while. Using something like Proton Drive in the meanwhile would be nice.
3TB is still tiny. Both are shit options for people who need unlimited storage for backups
I don't see why I would use this over Mega.
Mega comes with a Linux application too which is why I ended up going for that.
Mega is no longer trusted per Kim the original owner he had a tweet about this at some point.
