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

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

If I were you I would read his actual words and decide for yourself, don't trust people online.

Recommend me a good VPN service with port forwarding then.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Airvpn. But you probably dont actually need it like you think you do.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. But what do you mean I don't need it like I think I do?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won't make your downloads any faster.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's not what I've read on the subject.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Their forwarding might make your downloads faster.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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)

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Yeah that's called "Tails" not TailOS. And it's a pretty great tool.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah that would be tails and it is an entire distro lol not just a browser

Not especially secure though
