Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing?

Depends on your use case.
I know for me, i don’t need all the services unlimited offers.
I created seperate accounts for the services i use as they don’t allow you to bundle only specific services together (ie just mail+ and drive+ together). This ends up saving a few bucks.

I mostly use Proton Mail, pass and VPN with free SimpleLogin Unlimited, which is a plus; however, the VPN is not as good as advertised. I’m considering moving to you are Mullvad (buying the Mullvad plan from Amazon). That way, you’re not forced to share your credentials.
As for cloud storage, I use Filen - lifetime 180GB (thinking of self-host using NAS or Raspberry Pie; however, I’ve never done it before, so it’s tough for me).

Mullvad is the gold standard if you dont need port forwarding.
You may want to look into Filen - I know they have had issues with them not using the best encryption methods. Just remember “lifetime” refers to the life of the service (which they can change at any time) and not your lifetime.

That’s another issue; I tend to torrent here and there, so port forwarding is a big deal.
That makes sense. I’ve been thinking about self-hosting storage for a while now. I’m not sure how secure NAS is with their software.

You may want to check out AirVPN - great port forwarding implementation.
Long history of being privacy respecting but they don’t do audits (which is a super big deal to some).
Just make sure to use the wireguard client as their own client kind of sucks.
