I’m thinking on potentionally subscribing for an Unlimited with a student discount.

Are you satisfied with it’s current services? I’ve seen mixed reviews from ProtonVPN. Someone loves it, someone despises it. Also does Proton Pass offer any convenience benefits over Bitwarden?

    I use Proton VPN (lowest paid tier) to stream German television. Works great for me. I get the occasional stutter, but my Internet isn’t the best. I also get that when viewing local content.

      Hmm apparently ProtonVPN is easily detected by some sites, ergo it’s blocked. I’m not a streamer guy, but what other useful site would require a vpn for secret content?

        Torrents, mostly. Torrents and pretending to be from another country/state are the top uses for a VPN. I guess VPNs can also help with “dark web things,” but I don’t know enough about those to offer any advice.

          Yeah that’s fair, but is there a vpn with port forwarding that has such bad detection rates that it’s not even good for torrenting? Curious question, I’m in a country where torrenting can be done legally without a VPN.

            I have no idea. I got a few emails from my Internet provider, warning me to stop pirating. I haven’t gotten any such emails since using Proton. I’ve never tried another service.
