The fuck is "TailOS"
Also what about
- Gentoo
- Alpine
- NixOS
Just to name a few
NordVPN is full of garbage. Use Mullvad, IVPN, Incognet or Tailscale instead
Don't use Proton.
Seconded. Proton's CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn't even try hiding it.
I've canceled my Proton subscription and I'm going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.
Last year Andy yen also moved proton to non profit proton foundation with majority shares of the company and 5 trustees of which Andy yen is only one. The majority stakeholder in Proton AG is now legally bound to do whats best for Proton and their stated mission
So yeah Andy is kissing the ring and being a shit human but he's not the entirety of proton. Still weird Andy from Switzerland felt the need to proclaim his love for trump though.
If you find another privacy focused email/vpn provider from a non14 eyes country that is owned by a non profit foundation then id be genuinely be interested but last i checked other alternatives are still full capitalist machines that haven't put privacy over profit.
I am using tuta mail. Super basic and lacks features but it works and seems to have good rep in privacy communities.
If the CEO of a privacy selling company is going out of his way to gobble blatantly fascist knob with official accounts in a business whose primary security vulnerability is the business itself, at best he's angling to get more business by trying to make things worse for people.
Also, non profit means nothing. It's not a business plan, it's not an ethical judgement, and it's not an analysis of financial responsibility.
It's a tax status.
I was using Proton and SimpleLogin. Didn't have a subscription, but was planning on it when I could afford it. Thank fuck I saw this shit and moved away before giving them a cent of my money.
Damn daniel
Thank you for telling me this! I didn't know about that.
If I were you I would read his actual words and decide for yourself, don't trust people online.
I have
Recommend me a good VPN service with port forwarding then.
Airvpn. But you probably dont actually need it like you think you do.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. But what do you mean I don't need it like I think I do?
Whatever you think you need port forwarding for can probably be better accomplished using something like tailscale or wireguard. The reason most vpns dont support forwarding and some used to but dropped it is because its just not worth the hassle andc creates an additional way for your IP to be leaked.
Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.
Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won't make your downloads any faster.
Their forwarding might make your downloads faster.
That's not what I've read on the subject.
You can just try it for yourself, use a VPN but dont do port forwarding and grab your favorite Linux iso, see if you notice a difference.
If you don't have port forwarding, you can only connect to peers that do.
If you have port forwarding, there's more potential peers to connect to. So yes it can make downloads faster.
That just isn't true anymore, you can test for yourself.
TailOS is what happens when someone gets the for browser and decides to make it a full distro (and also make the distro only run from USB)
Yeah that's called "Tails" not TailOS. And it's a pretty great tool.
Yeah that would be tails and it is an entire distro lol not just a browser
Not especially secure though
Did you forget BedRock ?
