I've used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).

But I've increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to "shop around"

Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad... except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.

So are there any other good options?

Thanks

I use both Mullvad and Astrill in China. A lot of VPNs don’t work here so it’s a feather in the cap for these that do.

Did you tried NymVPN ? I am curious if you can enter their mixnet from within China as they strongly advertise their product as censorship-resistant tech for freedom and activists.

Never heard of it, I’ll try it and let you know. (I’m always on the hunt for good options as fallbacks and for research for clients)

I’ve tried both their settings and can’t get it to connect, I’ll try from desktop tomorrow.
