God I can't wait for my PIA sub to run out. Locked in for 2 more years and I feel gross.
Use it to its full potential
But also, how did you manage to get this long of a sub?
They occasionally have a steep sale that is like $2.13 a month but you pay for 3 years. I forget the exact prices but iirc I paid under $100 though. I jumped on it without knowing where there are out of. I'm gonna be switching to Proton because of their email/storage bundle when my sub is up though.
And I'm def using it lol. I checked my torrent app last week and have downloaded around 1TB since my last OS install this past spring.
the proton offer is too good for a reason, it’s the new “crypto ag” cia honeypot, they log ip addresses and turn data over to police
They log IP for the email service, not VPN service. They made a blog basically telling people to use a VPN to log into their email if they didn't want that to happen (the arrest part not the disclosing IP part)
a company telling people to buy another one of their products to protect themselves from the data collecting and sharing they do should not inspire confidence
proton is also anti-China, having told people to delete tiktok due to Chinese spying and donating money to Hong Kong protests
They recommended a VPN service that didn't log IP, which includes theirs. And yeah, privacy-concerned libs are always anti-China. They also host fundraisers for liberal freeze peach orgs, including Bellingcat and Tor Project. So nothing new under the liberal sun. I don't think anyone is expecting tankie email services from such a company.
I did the exact same thing
I mean we really didn't know any better.
