They always forgot about Linux :(
Exactly. Their VPN app on Linux does not even have WireGuard options, let alone the Stealth Protocol. No port-forwarding either. There are so mamy features on Windows that they do not provide Linux users.
I just use Wireguard for ProtonVPN. Just download the wireguard config and import it into wireguard
I change servers very frequently. For that I have to download a lot of config files. Considering, I am paying Proton just as much a Windows user, I shouldn’t have to do all this work.
“Shouldn’t have to”
I mean, you don’t have to. There’s other services. Mullvad or whatever.
Having a handful of config files and switching to them isn’t the hardest thing. It works. Not like they’re preventing you from it.
Yep, this is what I’ve started doing and actually works better for my work flow as I use Wireguard for work related tasks as well.
It will probably get made eventually, but they have said there is no ETA for now. In the meantime, you can upvote the suggestion on their feedback forums.

If you don’t mind me asking, what services are you getting for that price and what are your pro/cons of them? Currently considering whether I should go self-hosted or Proton to get away from Google.

Appreciate the in-depth response 🫶
I’m intrigued (Visionary here) but not seeing enough to switch from Tresorit just yet. I do love where this is going, though!
I don’t see why I would use this over Mega.
Mega comes with a Linux application too which is why I ended up going for that.
I got a Synology NAS and been using Synology Drive and it’s been a really great private hosted alternative to Google drive, Dropbox etc.
I’m presonally using QNAP with the Qfile app in in combination with Tailscale, a combination which pretty much allows me to sync and access my files anywhere. However, the issue is that there’s no end-to-end encryption of storage unless you specifically mount a Veracrypt volume on your NAS, which is a bit painful to do on mobile OSes. This may or may not be so important because you’re not storing your data in some random cloud storage service, but would be nice nonetheless.
However, another more serious issue is that the operating systems and apps of these NAS appliances (Synology and QNAP) are closed source and the companies are both based in Taiwan. I have no way of knowing what the software on these appliances and their accompanying apps are doing and whether they are sending my data back to their mothership. Because of this I’m looking into building a Linux-based rack/tower NAS server using old off-the-shelf parts, but this will take me a while. Using something like Proton Drive in the meanwhile would be nice.
