Push for regulation, utilize malicious compliance and boycotts in the meantime.

Thank you for your feedback!

So far so good. I've been running regular speed tests to compare with mullvad, while I had both. Speed wise ivpn is slightly slower on average (5% or so), but also seen occasional large slowdown on ivpn which I didn't see on mullvad. Especially some locations seem very inconsistent on ivpn.

It's good, but some improvements on consistency would be welcome.

Do you still have to pay in petrodollars?

Been subscribed since mulvad news. No regrets

I use it in atomic Fedora distros with the package layered. So that's almost certainly the problem since it works fine for you.

That's weird. Left clicking the topbar icon in Ubuntu works as expected.

Same as @snoons@lemmy.ca. Got my remaining mullvad time refunded and switched to iVPN for a month to test and then reupped.

No complaints so far. I use it on a couple Linux machines and Android. I tested it out on my router and it worked but I haven't had any cause to use it at that level yet.

You'll get the rare slowdown or reconnect, but I've run into that with any VPN I've ever used. They're once in a blue moon though.

*Edit one very minor complaint I remembered is that left clicking the tray icon in KDE does nothing. You have to right click > Show iVPN. I rarely have to use it, but it was annoying at first.

Oh dang, maybe I'm wrong. Now that I think about it I was just assuming because their connection is a lot faster then Mullvads.

Oh, they still do? That's good news, I thought they had removed it based on https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/#remote-port-forwarding_1

Yes, been with them since maybe a month after Mullvad was shown to be funding fascists. No complaints, in fact I prefer them because they have port-forwarding (do they? DO THEY‽).

220 million? Pfffffft.

I thought it was legal for them to sell driving data to brokers (not that I agree with it)? What is the actual alleged crime here though?

Not my GrapheneOS phone.

I know people! I'm a people person!

Both can be true. Every "controversy" that Proton has had ended up being a big ol' nothingburger that was blown way the fuck out of proportion.

This agreement is not an agreement on the final law. The Council has to negotiate the final wording with the European Parliament, which is yet to take a position.

Contact your MEP. Can probably reuse list from https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

But for information to be considered "evidence" in the first place, there has to be an associated criminal act. I.e. a reasonable cause for suspicion that puts the individual under arrest, and henceforth, all manipulation of information is considered tampering.

However, he was not under arrest, so there was no baseline of information to be considered. If he was to wipe his phone in-flight, or after the border control (if the phone wasn't checked at the border), or at any point in time at all really, this would also be considered evidence tampering, by this logic.

However, if I recall from the story, there was a certain jurisdiction at the border, which enabled the agents to have "reasonable cause for suspicion" for any reason, which means that it doesn't matter what you have or not on your phone. If they are curious about you (i.e. suspicious), and you do not share your phone contents, just like the contents of your handbag, you're effectively resisting arrest. And at that point, all information is considered evidence.

Everyone was busy, so I went to the movie alone.

I've used Fastmail for a long time and I'm very happy with it.

There is no right to privacy in public spaces so ,just like so many other things EFF handwrings about, this argument is a complete nonstarter.

It's evidence tampering. The reason why it's illegal is to give law enforcement something to charge someone with regardless of how much evidence they destroy. Perjury is illegal for similar reasons.

That's not what it is, but keep making things up.

What would you say, you do here?

The CEO of Proton is Pro-Trump and that's old news
