Proton’s free plan is supported by people with paid plans
Proton’s free plan is supported by people with paid plans
Why wouldn’t out be? Proton has always had a free tier, this just makes it easier for free users to connect to a vpn
I remember figuring this out when I realized my vpn wasn’t connecting while I was inside of my secure folder, which acts like it’s own user profile
You need a VPN that can split tunnel by ip via CLI (although I think it’s also possible to set it up in an ovpn file, but I haven’t tried it). The only one I’ve found that can do this natively is proton, specifically the python community version.
I don’t know how this next part works if you use something that isn’t tailscale, but if you do then just set proton’s split tunneling for 100.64.0.0/10
Then, still on this machine, advertise the exit node from tailscale (you also have to allow it from your tailscale admin console). Connect to it from your phone, making sure to use the server as an exit node, and head over to ip.me to see if it’s working
If I’m understanding correctly, I think I’ve actually done something similar with tailscale. I run a VPN on my server and use it as a tailscale exit node (since it’s always running, I never have to worry about it turning off) and this allows me to connect to my server remotely while using a VPN, since Android also doesn’t allow simultaneously VPN connections
And when I inevitably push my extrovert away I lose all the other friends too
I love Proton and will advocate for it any chance I get, but I can also see that it might be good to have people like you who don’t put all their eggs in one basket
