Not sure if it was just released today, but I got the email update about it just now. I’m pretty excited about this because I mostly just want VPN for web browsing, and the linux app kinda sucks.

Ngl, I’m very surprised and very pleased proton has lasted. They seem to be on track to remaining sustainable and true to their stated goals.
I haven’t run their paid tier VPN yet, because of the linux issues, but the free tier always worked well when I was between providers and deciding who to go with.
In a recent e-mail they mentioned an open Linux dev position, so hopefully the Linux client will catch up soon enough!
What Linux issues are those?

I don’t use the Client, but the OpenVPN scripts. No problem so far.
No wireguard. Unable to launch on login for some DE.
Also slow ass GUI, no auto-connect on startup. I wrote a script for this. Luckily the offer a CLI
Wireguard is up. Cannot speak to the other instances.
I just picked and set up 4 or 5 different Proton VPN profiles in my network manager so I can jump onto one with a couple of clicks. It’s overall been great. Occasionally one I connect to is overloaded and I have to jump to another one. I don’t stay connected to VPN, just when I want/need it.
