The Linux updates are the most exciting for me!

For me too, i can't wait for the Custom DNS option!

I hope they're going to improve port forwarding on Linux.

Excited to see improvements coming for Linux port forwarding!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Seriously. I've abandon my proton vpn account because the linux port forwarding was such garbage. Absolute garbage implementation for an advertised feature.

The Mink in the Post is just the Link to the static image...

The link he is talking about is the post has the link to the image when you tap or click the image. The link in the post description or text is the correct link. It's weird

Can I get blocking servers based on city, too?

Stupid puritan bullshit makes just picking a random US server really annoying.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

CustomDNS is huge. Finally!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Is there any updates on Proton Calendar?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

And yet split tunneling and LAN access, combined with killswitch, are still broken on Android but work on Windows.
