With mullvad, proton or iVPN, just enable lockdown mode or what proton calls the "permanent" kill switch.
That should block all unprotected traffic with no issue
Edit, I used policy plus to delay my quality updates by 30 days and my feature updates by 365 days and a couple of days ago I paused my windows updates because I saw britec09 talking about how some of the more recent updates to windows 11 will cause bluescreens sometimes. So I'm not affected.
It's not. Use signal messenger or session messenger instead.
why are they always trying to compete with apple in the worst ways possible?
If people want to use apple devices, they'll just use apple devices.
Seriously if anyone from microsoft is reading this, ask yourself, why did so many people LOVE windows 7 and hate windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11? Windows 8 is where it started going off the deep end and now we're at windows 11, where literally every change you're making is causing more and more people to teach themselves how to use linux.
And now to salt the wound, you fuckers are blocking people from using third party apps to make their systems work the way they want them to.
That's how you're choosing to compete with apple? to make your OS as shitty as possible? To take as much control away from the customer as possible? Are you sure that's the hill you want to die on? ...Okay. Your funeral.
You got rid of all the options for quick connect profiles.
You also got rid of the ability to connect to a random server.
being able to connect to a random location adds another layer to any anonymity you might want.
Proton or Mullvad, whatever works better for you
Yes, but telling you how I do it would be bad opsec.
well they blocked every porn site in india for a different but equally stupid reason.
Proton isn’t science
Cryptography and software development is science.
I once knew a guy that was really stupid. He got angry very quickly and had no patience for anything.
He had a lock on the button for his garage door opener that was a slider switch, he caved it in because he pressed it really hard instead of just looking and seeing that it's a slider switch
proton's hide-my-emails are disposable, but regular proton mail addresses aren't disposable.
It definitely leaked data from everyone else on there too.
I always knew sending your DNA and having it analyzed by a big company was a bad idea.
Stop calling people "consumers"!
We're customers, we're users, we're people that businesses have dealings with, we're people who use software and goods for our personal use. We're citizens of the countries we were born in.
Cars consume gasoline, fire consumes whatever it burns, people aren't consumers.
A consumer is a gaping maw that eats everything until there's nothing left, a customer or a home user is a person.
Don't use the de-humanizing terms corporations want us to use.
