We shall see. ProtonVPN has some handy features that make it beneficial for me to route all traffic through.

A local university sells surplused towers for $40, so my last resort is to get ime of those and only run plex on that computer and not have a VPN on that one.

Different strokes for different folks, I run all traffic through a VPN.

Split tunneling wasnt quite working. I’ll spend time on it some day.

I paid for a lifetime subscription 6 years ago… would definitely say I got my $80 worth.

Only complaint is that the streaming my own media files doesnt work great with my VPN, but I so rarely need that, so I havent spent much effort trying to figure it out. It’s on my list of things to do though.

It’s getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.

I don’t struggle a lot with it. Occasionally I’ll have an issues, but it’s not bad at all. Sometimes I have to switch severs, but I’ll usually find a working one in 1-2 tries.

The only outright block I run into is sometimes .gov sites won’t let me in unless I’m set to a us server.

I’ve been using Proton for 4ish years now and like it. Email, VPN, drive, and calendar. I use something else instead of proton pass, but just for diversity.

I’ve been very happy with the whole Proton suite for almost 4 years now (though, I’ve never used the free plan)

Depends on the server. I rarely am over there, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t
