    As someone who has recently started seeding as much as I can, this is a great question to which I don’t have the answer.

    I am not renewing my Proton yearly subscription after it ends due to recent developments. They seem to be the only “big name” VPN with the port forwarding feature. I heard of OpenVPN, but have not had a chance to dig into it too much.

    My ISP does not provide IPV6 support, so this will be pretty important to sort out soon.

      If you have a bit extra money, get a seedbox. Cheapest I’ve seen is €10/mo

        as far as I can tell their CEO is a semi alt right cunt. Apart from that everythin seems pretty okay and the recent shift to nonprofit status is cool

          😂 does everything have to be political now? I don’t care if the dude is a space alien who birthed Hitler, if the service is solid, I’m using it.

            It has always been. FOSS is by itself political, just beyond the basic binary logic of left/right.

            Your apoliticism is a political instance as well. Take for instance this quoute from Desmond Tutu “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

            I’m not saying you have to ditch Proton over their CEO’s takes, my point is that thinking that everything suddenly became political is naive.

                Agree, but that’s reality. People suck, world sucks, life sucks.

                You don’t have to change your lifestyle over whatever thing that <random person you don’t know nor care about> decided to say today. It is not wrong to feel that way neither. But, IMO, being aware of that, or at least being open to learn about that stuff, helps a lot to being in peace with it, and eventually, could lead to a more ethical consumption without going to extremes.
