@lemmy.mlI tried proton in 2019. My life fell apart for a few years but now I've come back to proton again.
So is everything I do on my network 100% secure now? Sincere question. I am not a computer expert. Please tell me.
[Edit: With guidance from Proton Support, I switched VPN protocols in the application's preferences menu (https://protonvpn.com/support/how-to-change-vpn-protocols/), from IKEv2 to Smart, and afterwards I started seeing ads and trackers (etc.) blocked on the application's GUI again. I'll post any other relevant info I learn of here.]
Original post:
I use Proton VPN. I have a paid account. I like to use the NetShield feature to block malware, ads, and trackers. Typically, when I view ad- and tracker-bloated websites, Proton VPN records how many ads and trackers it's blocked during my current VPN session.
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that despite NetShield being on with the above settings, it no longer appeared to be blocking any ads or trackers per the print out on the GUI. I updated the program, and it's now up-to-date, but that hasn't fixed my issue.
Is anyone else experiencing this? What's going on, has Proton VPN stopped blocking those things or is the print out not working?
I'm trying to use ProtonVPN to set up split tunneling so that my tun0
is the only network device that is protected by ProtonVPN. I need this because I have file & web servers running on this Linux box (Ubuntu).
With previous VPNs I've used, I would use OpenVPN and add to the openvpn config and this work the way I intended:
route-nopull
route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
With other VPNs I'd just run
curl --interface tun0 ip.me
And that would return a VPN ip address.
For some reason, ProtonVPN seems to be blocking me from using the same workflow. Is there a working guide for ProtonVPN to do what I'm trying to do?
It is so annoying that I write a bash script that runs on startup and pastes the password when it detects the Window
