I've heard a lot about AirVPN, but it doesn't have an app on Fdroid or anything. Yes you can download it directly from their site, but that is a little cumbersome.

Another option I'm considering is Windscribe.One major knock against it (and the same thing for AirVPN) is that htere is no tutorial available for installing the wireguard version on openwrt.

I really don't know enough about these. Windscribe has been sort of tested in court (again that was in Greece, and they don't have the same might of an authoritarian state as the US or some place), so that's a plus.

I don't know, I'm so confused that it sort of makes sense to stick with Mullvad at times.

proton are an ai company, and an email provider. do the math there.

I had a 2 year subscription with them, using their vpn and email. I stopped using them after approx 6 months of product use, customer support, and paying attention to their social media manipulation, and repeated lack of attention to product quality. Throwing away the other 18 months of subscription.

They are a very dodgy company, trying to be the next google, which is ironic considering how many canadian patriots are now heading there due to trump/google.

Their brand is very popular with their zombie fans who struggle to think, but are very quick with upvotes, and downvotes.

    You're pretty vague for a "non-zombie". What's the issue with being an email provider? Also, they have an AI chatbot, I'm not sure they're training any models, and I don't know of any issue they've had with that product. Lastly, define them being a "dodgy" company.

    I believe I made it obvious I wanted going to bother dealing with proton fanboys again?

    People can make their own minds up by paying attention, or they can just follow the crowd, not my problem.
