Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"
Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

I literally signed up for their VPN last night since NordVPN doesn't offer port forwarding. . . Oh well, I can 30 day guarantee it and get mullvad I guess. All I lost was a bit of time setting it up in all my containers, and any respect I had for Proton
I like mullvad but they got rid of their port forwarding.
Ahhh, too bad. Gonna give AirVPN a go!
They did. Not many choices left that support it, sadly
Give AirVPN a chance. The website looks terrible but it's a great service and port forwarding is far simpler than Proton's weird solution
Update: I just signed up for AirVPN, but speeds are very slow. With both Nord and Proton, spp d tests come back at ~800/700 on my gigabit fiber. The fastest AirVPN server I've found is 60/10, most are 10/10.
Is this normal in your experience (just a slow VPN service) or do you know of anything I can do to get faster speeds? (I'm using the Eddie client on windows)
Looks like they're taking advantage of the controversy with a sale! Requested my 30 day money back from Proton, and signed up for AirVPN ($10 cheaper!)
I would personally recommend Windscribe. They have a free tier, and include port forwarding, unlike Mullvad
With articles like this I wouldn't recommend them.
I agree that these are a little tacky, however it doesn’t mean their service isn’t good.
PIA has port forwarding. Used it for several years without issue.
container as in docker?
I know very little about this but I've used gluetun and it's great
https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun
it supports a lot of VPN providers
Yup, that's the one I use in a few projects. I also run torrent software/soulseek in containers that use OpenVPN config files directly which is both simple to setup and very secure in terms of IP leaks.
I just switched over to AirVPN, so now I just need to generate new config files and go switch them out for all the affected containers
