      Totally agreed. As much as I don’t like them handing over that sort of data, its hard to justify demanding they accept facing prison time for some dipshit on their service.

      Well at the very minimum all vpns have your IP, so it’s not a big deal if proton complys with the law, Don’t understand why we expect corporations to break the law

    If you are not paying for it, you’re not the customer; you’re the product being sold.

      Handy rule of thumb I guess but I really don’t think that applies to riseup in a meaningful way

    I’ve always found Riseup to be super slow and Proton VPN to be fast. Maybe try changing your protocol to WireGuard in the Proton VPN settings?

    I generally trust riseup, but there’s no guarantee. if you want a guarantee you have to pay for it (after doing proper research).

    It’s great for activists. It definitely won’t be faster than ProtonVPN though
