Hello everyone,
I am very new and recently have decided to move away our growing home/work network away from Google and also increase our digital security. I got recommended to try Proton as it is (as I understand) a full suite of feature we would use (be it mail, productivity apps, vpn, authenticator, cloud) but seeing some of the reactions here, I am concerned.
Are there any really grave concerns about Proton or any substantial flaws I should be aware of as a new user? I also got some mixed reviews about unstable gaming sessions (that would be a home disaster for the kids hehe) as it disconnects but I suppose that is a problem of the free limited VPN connecting to free servers.
Thank you in advance for any input.
EDIT: Thank you again very much to all of you for your time and insight <3 I will investigate all the suggestions/experience and slowly work my way to a better workframe. Again - thank you!
Thank you for this piece of info. OK that’s also confusing, from what I understood, seeding is not possible without port forwarding? I have to go and fact-check again about this. Maybe test both Mullvad and ProtonVPN for one month… If I do, I’ll report with a post here.
I had a look around this morning and found this detailed explanation https://smarttechsavvy.com/how-does-bittorrent-work-without-port-forwarding/. This appears to match my experience with Mullvad, seeding is shower but does happen.
