[non self hosted] : Cheap Services You Still Pay For (alien.top)

My Bitwarden renewal came through this morning. It's still $10 per year. I was about to cancel, but I thought what the heck at $10, I'll keep it on out of principle and to show support.

I also have a tutanota encrypted email, which costs little more than pocket change over the year. I hardly use it, but it's there.

I wondered then, if this community had any little gems to share - services they pay for that are let's say under $30 annually. I think we can exclude VPS, since lots of people will probably have them already.

I'm going to cross post at /r/opensource too.

Proton Suite

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My expressVPN 2year plan is about to expire in February. I am seriously considering switching to Proton, especially since I already use protonMail as the inbox for my Anonaddy instance. What's your experience with Proton?

I also have the proton suite, I love all of them. The only one I haven't used is calendar, but everything else is great. The only complaint I have about their VPN is that port forwarding is mildly annoying and not automatic - but most people wouldn't care, and it's really very minor.
