This is a terrible day for the archival of the internet. Under the guise of copyright, significant information has been de-platformed.


There’s the VPN technologies and then there are VPN services [1]. Technology alone does not give you the service.

In the end, it's the same for Windows too since you need to pay for a cert.


We are introducing Verifiably Private AI [1] which actually solves all of the issues you mention. Everything across the entire chain is verifiably private (or in other words, transparent to the user in such a way they can verify what is running across the entire architecture).

It should be able to support connecting via an OpenPCC client, then!

Ad hominem does not change the fact that ProtonVPN admits to monitoring their users: "we check the network traffic on the server in question in realtime to verify the abuse report.
