We've been wanting to set up Music Assistant and now since we started using ProtonVPN, Apple Music is constantly blocking our account.

Do you have any recommendations for a music service that works well with Music Assistant and from behind VPN?

I'll have to check the vpn situation later but the tidal integration works pretty well!

i like how music assistant will build playlists from both local shares and services

Why do you need to be behind VPN?

I don't need to, I want to. Basic privacy.

How does running your music service through a VPN improve privacy?

I want to have VPN enabled always on my phone. I want my music app to work on my phone.

But yeah thanks for asking the right questions: I should split tunnel so the music app can go around the VPN obviously!
