The source for this is a reddit post from 7 years ago?

Reminder that rasengan, before running vp.net also owned Private Internet Access (PIA) [0] which was also allegedly involved in spreading rumors about ProtonVPN years ago [1].

PIA btw was acquired by Kape/Crossrider: https://cyberinsider.com/private-internet-access-kape-crossr...

So there is a lot of history between the owner of vp.net and proton.

This is just a marketing post for a different VPN company trying to sell you a "truly private" VPN. Take everything you're reading with a grain of salt.


I don't think proton advertises itself as a "bulletproof" provider that completely ignores complaints, so not sure what exactly were they expecting here?


This is a marketing post that doesn't even link the reddit thread it's supposedly sourced from.


The archived posts are literally linked in the post.


The archived post links to a 7 year old comment.

Wait a sec, let me read your HN about section:

The only VPN that can’t spy on you is VP.NET since you can verify what is running on the servers using Intel SGX attention.

My comments are my own and do not reflect any of the organizations, or nations, I belong to unless I specifically clarify as such in a comment.

alrighty then.


proton does not operate in a free country and logs whatever they like, their transparency report even shows it. they are a political tool that gives favors.

protons services are subpar compared to others anyways - mullvad has far better speed even with u.s and e.u trying to throttle their services.
