PS: AirVPN, in my opinion, is the last great VPN. Open-source, run by activists, anonymous accounts, crypto purchasing, IPv6 compatibility, full port forwarding, great support, Tor integration, the list goes on.

According to r/VPNTorrents, Proton and AirVPN are the only recommended VPNs since they are the only well-established privacy-respecting ones left. New ones are popping up with promise, like Azire, but time will tell. As for Proton, I decided against it because of limited port forwarding and lack of IPv6 compatibility and settled on AirVPN. Also, I personally try to avoid keeping all my eggs in a single corporation's basket, so I cannot advise buying into the full Proton suite if you're remotely tech savvy and/or privacy-concerned. But they are genuinely great products if you have no desire to do any tinkering or shopping around. I just can't see the appeal in my VPN activities being directly tied to my email. Oh and I almost forgot, I switched from PIA due to their lack of IPv6 support and acquistion by Kape, a known adware company.

I know it's at least supported on Tumbleweed because I use it

What made you move from each one? I run Kitty+Zsh on my main distro & Alacritty+fish on my gaming distro, but I can barely tell a difference.

Kitty + Zsh + PowerLevel10K + [https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix](Modern Unix replacements)

Definitely taking his time to make sure it drops as most likely the least buggy, most feature-rich on-release Lemmy app yet. He's gotta outperform the other 20, so may as well learn from them.

Same question here. I'm about ready to upgrade from my 8GB Pi 4B, but I'm overwhelmed by options and lost as to where to go next.

I'd just recommend switching to Kbin or Firefish tbh

I've gone for a Neon Genesis Evangelion theme, so my router is SEELE, my Pi server is TheMagi, Thinkpad is Unit-00, Laptop is Unit-02, work device is Unit-03 (waiting to build my gaming PC for Unit-01). Then my SimpleLogin aliases are weapons like the sonic knife or lance of longinus.

If they support IPv6, port forwarding, and gigabit speeds, I'm basically sold. Though according to r/VPNTorrents, their no-logging policy has not been battle-tested and certified in courts or audits. Do you know if that is still the case?

Ah yeah that rules out Njalla then. Did Azire literally just come out? I'm having trouble even finding much on it other than a couple pretty negative "give it a year or two" reviews and some very spammy shill behavior on Reddit.

Yep they did around May and then IVPN followed suit in June
