Due to attempts by local ISPs to block Proton VPN ahead of Venezuela's #election on July 28, we've added additional free Smart Routing #VPN servers.
We want to ensure everyone has free access to information.

If you experience issues connecting to #ProtonVPN, make sure to follow the instructions provided below.
Please share this with your friends and family in #venezuela: 🧵

You know what's fake?

Artificial "intelligence."

Apan Jul 26, 2024

@protonprivacy Well, then maybe Proton should do your part and verify your apps on Flathub...

Proton Jul 30, 2024

@Apan Thanks for the suggestion, we'll share it with the team.

Mark Gardner Jul 31, 2024

@Apan Yah, the unofficial @protonprivacy wrappers on #Flathub are a bit of a mess too: https://social.sdf.org/@mjgardner/112882751421224709

Mark Gardner (@[email protected])

@[email protected] Please distribute official #Flatpak wrappers. I want less sketchy and regularly updated options on my #SteamDeck. As @[email protected] noted, the #Flathub IDs are all over the place: • #ProtonMail: https://flathub.org/apps/me.proton.Mail • #ProtonMailBridge: https://flathub.org/apps/ch.protonmail.protonmail-bridge • #ProtonMailImportExport: https://flathub.org/apps/ch.protonmail.protonmail-import-export-app • #ProtonPass: https://flathub.org/apps/me.proton.Pass • #ProtonVPN: https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www /cc @[email protected]

@protonprivacy For properly packaged and securely distributed software running securely on all our desktop Linux platforms we continue to rely on Flatpaks hosted on @flathub where verified publishers are clearly identified.
Examples of verified publishers include The GNOME Project, KDE, Team Kodi, Discord Inc., LibreWolf Community, MZLA Technologies (Mozilla Foundation), The GIMP team, and Plex. There are hundreds more.

Proton VPN by Proton AG - Unverified - https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www
Proton Mail by Proton AG - Unverified - https://flathub.org/apps/me.proton.Mail

ProtonMail Import-Export app by Proton AG - Unverified - https://flathub.org/apps/ch.protonmail.protonmail-import-export-app
Proton Pass by Proton AG - Unverified - https://flathub.org/apps/me.proton.Pass

Instead of releasing questionably packaged software downloaded from a web site with no readily found checksum or PGP signature for only one desktop environment on only two, three or zero platforms which relies on a self-update mechanism which has never been appropriate for Linux platforms and which installs less securely, please release verified Flatpaks as we have been requesting for years.

While we appreciate the work the volunteers do packaging your software which we trust so that we can use it, we should not have to trust them in addition to you and they should not have to do your job.

@protonprivacy Once again, no official Linux support... This is sad.

Proton Jul 26, 2024

@babaq We do a Linux app too: https://protonvpn.com/download-linux It's not included here simply because it's not a commonly used OS in Venezuela, and we were short on space.

@protonprivacy Short on space on Mastodon?

Proton Jul 26, 2024

@babaq Yes, the above post is over 470 characters, and Mastodon posts are limited to 500.

Gustavo Jul 26, 2024

@protonprivacy @babaq That's mastodon.social's limit, here is 800 characters. I guess many people don't notice each instance can have different limits, unlike non-federated social networks.

Martin Bodlák 💙💛Jul 26, 2024

@protonprivacy You can run your own instance and set the toot length limit as high as you like. And, frankly, you should do it!

Thomas Jul 26, 2024

@protonprivacy Would have been great to have an repository in the F-Droid Store.

Proton Jul 26, 2024

@Tom665 Hi there, you find all the app links, including F-Droid at https://protonapps.com/

Download all Proton apps

Download Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, Proton VPN, and Proton Drive for your device (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Thomas Jul 26, 2024

@protonprivacy Thanks, but i do know that. I would like to have the benefits of automatic updates. My device has no google services, so I depent on alternatives. A build-in updater like other Apps have, would also be a nice Option.

quasigod Jul 31, 2024

@Tom665 @protonprivacy the apps they list have on f-droid do recieve automatic updates

Ali Jul 27, 2024

@protonprivacy Hi. I can't log in to my desktop proton vpn. I've downloaded it from girhub, but I keep getting the wrong username or password error. But it's not wrong. I've tried from multiple ISPs and IPs. Would you please walk me through?

@protonprivacy what is wrong with downloading from protonapps.com?

Proton Jul 29, 2024

@geomaster337 Nothing, you can do that too!

✧༺𝙰 𝚁 𝚈 𝙴 𝙻༻✧Jul 29, 2024

@protonprivacy but I downloaded all the Proton apps in your guys' website, and I'm fine! what's wrong with the website version?

Proton Jul 29, 2024

@littlebean Nothing, however, in Venezuela, there are attempted blocks of our website, by the local ISPs. So in case users can't access the website, we recommend this approach.

✧༺𝙰 𝚁 𝚈 𝙴 𝙻༻✧Jul 29, 2024

@protonprivacy oh ok. I thought there was something wrong lol. my b!

Proton Jul 30, 2024

@littlebean It's a thread, so if you start from the first post in the thread, you'll understand the context.
