I use Proton and it pretty fast IMO even without port fowarding since I can't use it.
And it has special option that prevent tracking in the event of a warrant to get your IP and also a system to avoid streaming service blocking VPNs' addresses
My second point, if you're on Linux, don't expect all the options proposed. The Linux app is pretty bad for now. No port fowarding, no split tunneling. Just kill switch
They supposed to remake it eventually... but it's been a while
So I recommend it if your on windows or Mac.
With Linux it's usable but for the price, It's not good
That being said, you can apparently use openvpn app to use it with more options, but I hadn't have the time to try it yet.
The cli Proton is supposed to have more options but I couldn't make it work even by following the doc. I might be the problem on this one.
Edit: typo
Ah thanks for the review, Linux is 100% relevant to me.
I haven't used Proton, but they provide Wireguard configs which you should be able to use with anything that supports Wireguard (either on a Linux desktop, or on an open router like OpenWRT).
Yes of course. Configuration of port forwards and split tunnelling etc are outside the scope of wireguard though.
Ah my bad, reading multiple threads at the moment and missed the context.
