My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don’t look so “safe and private” as they want you to think so it’s hard to really figure it out. I don’t want to spend too much since I don’t use them very often but I kinda like the “change catalog of netflix” thing and to be safe while doing some “”“”“”“shady”“”“”" stuff

    Yup I got the whole Proton suit mainly for email and calendar, but use the rest too for specific use-cases.

    I also like that Proton has a few VPN servers with adblocker and tracking blocking built in, so you can use the default DNS and have the same settings as other users which helps with avoiding fingerprinting while still having an easy system wide adblocker and tracking blocker.

      Yeah, the in-built blocking is amazing for a fire and forget kind of deal. I’d still rather block my network traffic myself, but when I’m on the go and don’t have control over what network I’m in (or really, what’s on my device) this is the way to go.

        Yeah I use this function mainly on portable devices. At home just block it network wide.
