Chris Ferguson@protonprivacy Good article...the problem is I love my mesh router setup, and I love that it is automatically updated with security updates (something that's still difficult to find on most consumer routers!! HOW!?).
Is there an easy to deploy, affordable mesh network solution for consumers that is private (and ideally open source?).
Until then, I'm going to need to keep recommending the admittedly not private, but simple and secure solutions Plume, Google, Linksys etc have put out.
ubinull@protonprivacy This gets even worse when you factor in, that for example Telekom (T-Mobile in EU) forces you to use their router/modem devices to connect to the internet. And the devices are not just bad, but locked down, slow, and a privacy nightmare.
geomaster337@protonprivacy how is UniFi stuff? I donโt use any of their cloud features, but do use their router and switch.
Pierre@protonprivacy is there an issue with proton drive on iOS? If you have biometrics enabled or 2fa, other apps are unable to access it. For instance if I use an app and I have a file on proton drive which the app needs and I try to access it, it fails.
@breadandwater Hi! At this time, the iOS Drive app supports direct integration with the Files app only. This integration can only work if Proton Drive can operate in the background, but we are looking into ways to improve this experience in future.
Namely, when the app lock is enabled, the app cannot function until it's unlocked, which cannot be done in the background. So, the Files app cannot receive a response from our Proton Drive app to any of its requests.

(eng๐ฌ๐ง)@protonprivacy First I'd like to thank for doing a lot of things.
Will the deb/rpm repository ever be available? ๐ Downloading updates from individual sites manually seems to me to be a very unfortunate practice.
@ruza Hi! We would appreciate it if you could post your request on our UserVoice page, so we can gauge community interest in this, which will help us prioritize it accordingly: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass
@protonprivacy I found out that there is already a request for the repo in official distros or Proton-hosted and added my vote.

Submit Linux package updates in official distro repos
Proton VPN is open source and uses well-known and established components of the NetworkManager stack. Due to these two things, there is virtually nothing standing in the way of the Proton VPN team from building and submitting packages officially to Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, EPEL, etc. Proton VPN is further enhanced by packaging upstream by increasing the availability of Proton VPN software packages in the global software package mirroring network (deterring censorship) and benefiting from improved transparency and openness by building packages through distribution-supported build systems, which are often reproducible. The policies of most distros are friendly to this since the Proton VPN Linux pieces use Open Source licenses. A community-supported [Fedora Proton packaging SIG](https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/group/proton-sig/) already exists. Implementing this is both a matter of technical expertise but also being able to navigate and collaborate with other communities. Proton engineers would submit package updates directly to Linux build systems and benefit from being stakeholders in the distribution end of software production. This also gets Proton engineers closer to user feedback and bug reports. (Not to be biased, but I get copied on bug reports for Proton VPN bugs in Fedora and I am not always sure how to best route that feedback from distro users back to upstream developers.) One idea for the Proton-hosted repos is that they could still be provided, but for beta or experimental users. This way, Proton still maintains a mechanism for shipping updates extremely fast to end users without distro build systems and update policies, but the users who participate with those repos could be closer to the in-development versions, while users subscribed to updates on their favorite distros would receive them normally through stable update repos.
Paul Shryock@protonprivacy is Proton Drive ever coming to Linux?
