A post by [object Object] (@zzt@mas.to) saying: courtesy of @davidgerard@circumstances.run, Proton is now the only privacy vendor I know of that vibe codes its apps: In the single most damning thing I can say about Proton in 2025, the Proton GitHub repository has a “cursorrules” file. They’re vibe-coding their public systems. Much secure! I am once again begging anyone who will listen to get off of Proton as soon as reasonably possible, and to avoid their new (terrible) apps in any case. https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/114961415946154957
It has a reply by the author saying: in an unsurprising update for those familiar with how Proton operates, they silently rewrote their monorepo’s history to purge .cursor and hide that they were vibe coding: https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/tree/2a5e2ad4db0c84f39050bf2353c944a96d38e07f
given the utter lack of communication from Proton on this, I can only guess they’ve extracted .cursor into an external repository and continue to use it out of sight of the public
What’s a good alternative VPN provider in EU, not based in Italy? Mullvad is not an option, port forwarding is an absolute requirement.
Also, is there anything out there that ties password/account management and temp emails together as well as proton pass?
is eu absolutely required? i like windscribe (paid) but they’re based in canada.
Non-EU, but IVPN. It’s based in Gibraltar. Proton I think is also a good one to consider as well.
Unsure but you could check out bitwarden for your second question
I also use bitwarden (work), and it only does password management. It doesn’t do email and alias generation.
Depends on what you’re doing with it. If it’s just for normal privacy you could just get a vps and install any of the wireguard packages. If you’re using it to evade copyright enforcement (or something similar) I don’t have an answer for that, but a VPN with your name attached is no longer a good idea probably.
Yeah it’s not just for privacy, hence the port forwarding requirement.
AFAIK nothing has shown issues with the privacy of either email or VPN? At least not something that wasn’t caused by blatant idiot user error like the guy with his apple email as recovery email.
