No issues here n8chavez, though I don't use Proton as my #1 Vpn. Only use it occasionally when sites blacklist/block the mole..

Also I updated to 4.2.0 through installer, no issues at the moment.

Mullvad! I've been using it for nearly 20 years. AirVPN is #2.

Amazing, I didn't realize that it had been around that long

Yeah crazy how times fly and days go by. Mullvad launched in 2009 so 16 years to be exact, nearly 20 years. I remember reading Swedish reviews and recommendations on SWE forums.

Perfect Privacy was my first VPN back in 2008 when it launched, I still have a sub but don't use it.

Anyone remember the VPN thread on Wilder's back in the day? Some interesting people used to post there.

 

[n8chavez]

AirVPN is good too. I'm pretty sure I was active in that Wilders VPN thread. I think I joined there 24 years ago.

I've used Perfect Privacy & air, the reason I dumped Air in the end was slow throughput, as I remember that have a nice way of giving servers names.

I've recently taken a walk on the dark side with ExpressVPN, as my sub with Proton was nearing an end & frankly its just getting overly complicated with a profile that often don't work whenever it apparently feels like it & ended up connected the Holland or similar as its sometimes faster than UK which messes up my use of BBC sites - It was fine until the major UI change a few months ago - I'm a person who likes simplicity & for me a VPN that connects the the county I want it to at boot up, that's all really?
