I thought proton was already doing this? With the mailbox password and the “two password mode” in the settings in our accounts?
probably
There’s definitely a lot of stuff they could be doing better. And for some reason they won’t listen to their users on some of these things.
Maybe try asking for these features over on their reddit pages? People from proton are actually on those. I don’t think anyone from proton is here on lemmy
Proton family is one step above unlimited, then there’s proton visionary
possibly because there’s higher tiers such as proton family and proton visionary
I don’t know if this would be a good idea.
Sometimes it’s good to run things for a profit, that way there’s extra in case something needs to be upgraded
I haven’t heard anything.
When I did the survey, it was mentioned, but I have no idea how to access it
you may need to use your desktop/laptop to do that.
depends on the password and encryption you use on your home router. If your router is a VPN router, then your risk is significantly less, but not zero
all your traffic being intercepted by a malicious actor that hacked a wifi router
it is, but don’t use their VPN, it’s vulnerable to tunnelvision
iVPN and Mullvad are the only two I’m aware of that are immune to tunnelvision
oh…cool
you mean this wasn’t a feature already?
either the official app or the official web-app. Those are the only two ways you should bother with it.
okay, so which VPNs are affected?
ipleak(dot)net is a much better test to see if your VPN is working correctly.
Swap proxies while the test is running to see if there’s any leaks. that’s the one thing that almost every VPN fails at protecting. Mullvad and proton are the only 2 I’ve ever used that don’t leak.
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.
Session is better because of the proxies
Session comes with its own anonymity network…you sometimes need a VPN to access it, but still.
And even though there’s no quantum encryption on it yet. Whoever would try to use a quantum computer to break in would still need to use it for quite awhile on hundreds of different servers each processing thousands of different people’s traffic at any time.
I started using Aegis as soon as I saw the update for the google authenticator that “securely stores” my authentication tokens…in google’s own severs…that get hacked all the time.
Don’t use proton pass to store your 2FA tokens, use something like Aegis for 2FA tokens instead, and be sure to password protect it with a password that you DON’T store inside of proton pass
