If you want privacy, sadly, you will have to pay. I am currently using Proton Pass (special offer 1$ monthly), you get a good password manager, plus unlimited email aliases.
Proton is also known to be one of the best Email Providers based on good privacy.
How does one get such an offer?
It is the offer if you subscribed in the first month they launched Proton Pass.
Don’t change anything about your proton plan. I didn’t realize that if I subscribed for their vpn, that I’d lose my $1 special. They wouldn’t revert the change, even the same day it was made.
Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely keep that in mind.
That's strange that they would not help you out.
Are you still using their Proton VPN? How is it? I am with NordVPN, and I have been using it for more than 5 years, and it is crazy fast and so many servers are available.
It’s okay. I had their top tier plan for a few years, but I hadn’t needed the vpn for anything until attempting to set up a media server.
Since switching to LMDE and setting up my server in January, I’ve been using ProtonVPN and consistently had an IP leak or something, and my isp has pretty consistently sent me nasty-grams each time I p2p file share. I’ve taken to only doing it at hotels. Kind of frustrating to constrain myself, but I don’t have time to research more and don’t want to lose my sweet $50/1000mbps and have to switch to my old isp. I don’t know that the issue is ProtonVPN, but I don’t know how to investigate it much.
