As the title says, I have been using Proton Unlimited for almost a year; I mainly use Proton Pass, VPN and mail. Mail and Pass are pretty good. However, proton VPN is hit and miss because of the constant loading, slow and unreliable servers.

As the saying goes: don’t put all eggs in the same basket

I want opinions from current and previous Proton Unlimited users.

    I have been paying for Proton Unlimited for a very long time. About a year ago, they changed their prices for new users. currently it is $12/m, but I have to pay only $7.50/m, and yes, I pay monthly.

    I use Proton Mail with 3 custom domains, and I am an always-on VPN user. The VPN connection is always great with good speeds, but sometimes bad pings, but have a bad Linux app (yes, the new one as well). I also use their drive, currently using ~200GB. I have never touched Proton Pass because I have a self-hosted Vaultwarden server.

    But I am seriously considering discontinuing their service, specifically due to their poor Linux support. Their VPN app is shit, they don’t provide and not even developing a Linux app for Drive. But their are 2 reasons that make me continue their service. One, I do not really wish to self-host my email, and I do not want to use Tutanota, because I need Thunderbird. Two, there are no trusted VPN providers that give Indian IPs.

      Idk if this helps you, but you can download the OVPN-Configs for single Servers and countries, so you can usw the VPN Client your DE provides. Also, rclone now has Proton Drive support

        Using multiple config files is a bother, plus I really need the kill switch. Is there a way to replicate it manually? I didnt’t know rcloje started supporting Proton Drive, I’ll start using it.

          Never trust the killswitch. If you use proton for torrenting, you can set your torrent client to just connect over the tun0 interface, which will only exist if the VPN is on
