Hi all,
Moving away from USA solutions I also want a good European vpn. I contracted GOOSE because it’s from my country, but their servers are spotty on mobile and I regularly have connection issues on my Linux.
I want a stable VPN, streaming and P2P enabled, from a European provider. Who has good options? Must be Linux compatible either through an app or OpenVPN/WireGuard.
Is proton a good option?
Or I’m an informed consumer who tried proton’s offering (among many others, over MANY hours of testing OP’s exact use case), considered it critically, and came to the conclusion that: A) its not good for this use case B) there are too many red flags that they only care about privacy insofar as they can use it for marketing. Just cause you bought their marketing hook line and sinker doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m talking about and you can dismiss my point without backing up yours.
We aren’t talking about your grandma and grandpa who you want to “ease the transition for” in this thread, they asked for a P2P FRIENDLY VPN FOR LINUX and everyone comes in and name drops Proton and Mullvad without any justification or thought.
Proton’s mission is to make money, fullstop.
That’s why in my opinion, proton doesn’t give a shit about their users privacy. If they did, they would do everything they could to ease the transition for their users away from
US government spywareWindows. But they don’t care, cause they rake in the money, they’ve said that’s why themselves. 🤷♂️But to the OP, if you wanna try proton on linux for P2P, be my guest, i’m done trying to help people in this thread.
Edit: fixed formatting error… and again to clarify wording and add a relevant link just to drive home that linux/bsd doesn’t need to be scary techie stuff, its very mainstream, gaming pc compatible these days. Very low barrier to switch.
Final Edit: added mullvad in para 2
