I've set up #Proton VPN on my home router, so all my devices are now connected through it. This means I'll rarely need to use the VPN functionality on individual devices. I will rarely need to use the functionality myself.
It’s true that having the VPN at the OS level is more secure. A browser extension only encrypts browser traffic.
However, I think this setup is a solid stepping stone for those who haven’t used a VPN before.
It might spark curiosity about Proton's services and encourage more users to migrate from Big Tech to Proton, enhancing their online privacy and security.
#Vivaldi has been gaining a significant number of new users lately. People are increasingly valuing European software alternatives and prioritizing privacy.
This trend presents a great opportunity to further assist new users in enhancing their privacy and supporting European tech.
@SpaceMonkey @Vivaldi @François-Xavier Payet May I chime in with a question? Is it possible to setup Proton on OS level and still connect a) to the local subnet and b) to a work VPN (openvpn client) in parallel? I think I could manage this IP-wise, but I don't see how to use three different DNS servers. I need both work and local DNS server for split-DNS stuff, but would want to use proton dns for everything else.
