I think they're trustworthy, but not the best in all those categories - I think tuta is better for mail (no dependence on google services), mullvad is better for vpn (linux app actually works with wireguard, and doesn't have a hard dependence on networkmanager), and keepassxc + syncthing is better for passwords, although to be fair I haven't tried proton pass
Except if you torrent and have poor upload speeds, as it doesn't support port forwarding.
Anymore yeah they used to allow it. A even better option for uploading is seeding to I2P. the bigger we can get i2P the better.
You're talking about this, right?
That sounds promising. Know any good sites that can help me get started, or at least learn more?
The official site is best to get started. Personally i find it the most easy to run a container and configure a secondary Firefox profile: https://geti2p.net/en/
Thanks, I'll check it out.
This is my opinion exactly. Plus they don't have a way to upgrade storage without a family or business plan. I just want a google drive alternative for the sake of migrating away from google, not security, though it's a nice bonus. Right now you can't increase the storage on the basic plan, you can upgrade to unlimited but it only gets you 500 gb but costs a lot more. If they had a $5/month plan for 2 tb of storage and no other services I'd sign up right now.
