You just shift who can see your Internet traffic (which may be privacy sensitive) from your local Internet connection to the VPN service provider. I use ProtonVPN because it comes with my account.Ĭonsumer VPN providers, including Proton VPN, cannot give you more privacy. Me, I rather dislike having all my eggs in one basket. But I chose that level because (a) I can afford it - that's always the first and most important question - and (b) because years ago, when I first signed up with Proton, they were not nearly as well established as they are now and I really wanted to support their growth in my small way.įinal personal point. I didn't NEED an account with all the benefits I have. It's absolutely NOT worth it to me personally. I've been a Proton Visionary account holder for many years.
If you're like my more decisive friends, make a decision and move on to something else. If you can afford it and you simply WANT (but don't NEED) X, then if you're like me and you enjoy agonizing about these things, keep on agonizing. Otherwise, do you NEED X? And do you WANT X? If you can afford it and you need it, it's easy: get it. Can you afford X? If no, stop worrying and move on to something else. Answer to the question "Is X worth it?" is always easier to answer than people think. Personally I think NordVPN is a bit more attractive.īut otherwise, in my opinion, no, your life wouldn't in any way be "better" if you "consolidated" your software choices and became dependent entirely on a single company. ProtonVPN "harmonizes" with ProtonMail slightly better than NordVPN does. Perhaps there's a modest esthetic advantage. Using NordVPN doesn't enhance my use of the same company's password manager. I also use NordPass as a password manager (and also 1Password and Bitwarden). ProtonVPN doesn't, like, make it any safer to read my Proton email or something like that. If there's a significant advantage in performance or convenience between ProtonVPN and NordVPN, it's not apparent to me. I use ProtonVPN and NordVPN almost daily, and occasionally I even crank up Tunnelbear just for fun.
Just thinking if I should consolidate vpn into proton and get the unlimited plan. Having vpn service from another provider.
Why don't you stop there? Grass-is-greener syndrome? :-) I am a current happy protonmail plus user.
