- The Proton VPN servers for Afghanistan running at over 80% load was not something that we expected to see when we set them up last year.
- Never trust a VPN's "no logs" claim unless: 1) It's been externally audited 2) The results are freely and openly published for all (without needing to write in, sign up for an account, sign an NDA, etc). So, here is the latest no-logs audit report from the Proton VPN website:Proton VPN’s strict no-logs policy has been independently verified for the 4th year in a row. “Don’t trust, verify” is not just something we preach, but something we practice, so our no-logs policy has now been verified by third-party experts. Full report 👉
- Things have been a bit busy over the past week, so we've added another 400 servers to make sure that there is enough capacity on the Proton VPN network to meet the rising demand. Shout out to the Proton VPN infrastructure team for the rapid response. More on the way soon!
- With YouTube starting to require ID from some of its users, people are starting to look for alternatives. Luckily, @ProtonDrive's streaming capability makes it the perfect replacement for the thing that most people use YouTube for. Click for a demo: drive.proton.me/urls/NHN7HP0G6…
- Replying to @davidgpetersonIn the meantime, a reminder that there's still plenty of room in Chad.
- Replying to @davidgpetersonProton VPN has added an extra 1000 paid servers in key locations over the past month, and added a pile of new free server capacity as well. And to help the folks trying to get out of Europe, we've (unofficially and temporarily) added some free servers in Singapore.
- Wikipedia lost its High Court challenge, leaving the door open for Ofcom to demand that the site collect ID from users in the UK, or to restrict access. On a totally unrelated matter, here's an anonymous encrypted @ProtonDrive link to download Wikipedia drive.proton.me/urls/E20HD2HWM…
- During most internet restriction events, Proton VPN users are still able to tunnel through to the outside world. But not when the internet is totally unplugged. The last time we saw a total and deliberate nationwide internet blackout like this was Iran for 3 days in mid-June.The internet has been completely shut down in Afghanistan, according to our internal data. Our tools help to bypass censorship, but here access has been cut off. We stand against acts like this and believe that both privacy & freedom of speech are human rights. (Timezone CEST)
- 🇪🇸 Otro pico loco en el uso de Proton VPN desde España, ya que los proveedores de internet españoles (Movistar, Vodafone, DIGI, MásMóvil, etc) han bloqueado Cloudflare una vez más. Si esto continúa, podrían lograr lo imposible: que a los españoles les deje de gustar el fútbol.
- Proton VPN's free service continues to grow and expand. Our free users have access to a network capacity of almost 3000 exit nodes, delivering speeds faster than many paid VPNs. tomsguide.com/computing/vpns…
- Replying to @daniel_wwfI would note that the Proton VPN user base is heavily international, and our primary use cases have very little to do with any of the categories that you mention. protonvpn.com/internet-censo…
