Can't bind Proton VPN to qBittorrent on Linux

How about you use MullVad?

I’m not being a dick. Proton had enough info on French climate activists to sell them out.

Extinction Rebellion types may be the most anemic politics I’ve seen in my life, so the idea they’re locking up people attracted to something that lame… it’s like locking me up for piracy. Fuck Proton.

Also Mullvad server’s are way better for p2p and they don’t try to get more money out of you.

Are you escaping NATO intelligence with my knowledge here? Fuck no. Look at Mullvaf’s servers list and it’s basically a rundown of every country whose security situation is bad enough that it likely permits the CIA to do what it wants.

Also your OS is compromised.

ProtonMail court order leads to the arrest of French climate activist

A Swiss court order gave French police access to IP information linked to a Parisian climate activist, ultimately leading to the activist’s arrest.

The Verge

It’s actually more complicated than that.

As usual, the devil is in the details—ProtonMail’s original policy simply said that the service does not keep IP logs “by default.” However, as a Swiss company, ProtonMail was obliged to comply with a Swiss court’s demand that it begin logging IP address and browser fingerprint information for a particular ProtonMail account.

ProtonMail also operates a VPN service called ProtonVPN, and it points out that Swiss law prohibits the country’s courts from compelling a VPN service to log IP addresses.

So ProtonMail is the problematic service, since it can be compelled by courts to log. ProtonVPN cannot be compelled to start logging.

ProtonMail Amends Its Policy After Giving Up an Activist’s Data

The email service says it was unable to appeal a Swiss court’s demand to log the IP address of a French climate advocate.

WIRED

Oh yeah I heard that part already, it’s more abt the org being compromised. WIRED regularly publishes articles that are clearly in coordination with the state department, by the way.

I’m too noided about this stuff, I have no reason to talk shit about Mullvad other than the locations of their servers and knowing that feds have high level wiretaps at datacenters that pretty much none of us can get around, and I’m still talking shit about them

Go listen to feds talking about their training in “physical penetration” if you want to know more lol. They go brag about this shit

Why are you downvoting losers lol??? They clearly are able to give your shit to police even if you pay them $50/year or something

Only if you use ProtonMail. ProtonVPN is subject to different laws.

Have you ever heard the phrase “fool me twice, shame on me”
Yes. But people are allowed to make their own informed choices for themselves. I’m not here to tell people what risk is acceptable for them.
Well yea I’m clearly in agreement with ya since I only told OP this due to them expressing a worry abt privacy, they deserve to know. I almost began shoving instructions for switching to Linux down their throat haha
