Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

I literally signed up for their VPN last night since NordVPN doesn't offer port forwarding. . . Oh well, I can 30 day guarantee it and get mullvad I guess. All I lost was a bit of time setting it up in all my containers, and any respect I had for Proton

I like mullvad but they got rid of their port forwarding.

They did. Not many choices left that support it, sadly

container as in docker?

I know very little about this but I've used gluetun and it's great

https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun

it supports a lot of VPN providers

I would personally recommend Windscribe. They have a free tier, and include port forwarding, unlike Mullvad

With articles like this I wouldn't recommend them.

I agree that these are a little tacky, however it doesn’t mean their service isn’t good.

PIA has port forwarding. Used it for several years without issue.
