I've used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).

But I've increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to "shop around"

Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad... except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.

So are there any other good options?

Thanks

If you mainly do torrenting, AirVPN is a good option. I have recently moved away from ProtonVPN; it’s too expensive.

Plus it's run by Swiss Nazis.

You've done it, guys. Nazi is now a meaningless word because of how flippantly you people have thrown it around.

Congratulations.

Uh huh. Because the word for someone that supports Nazis isn't Nazi.

Nice mod history on your new account btw.

More like "anyone who doesn't agree with me on every controversial issue is a Nazi."

You only have yourselves to blame.
