Generally, compatability:
No SMTP (so I can send emails automatically from my servers for logs etc), no calendar sync, email sync is only hacky with the bridge, android does not have email sync at all, no contacts sync.
The calendar does not show the birthdays of contacts.
Proton drive for me is useless because no GNU/Linux client (if it comes, pls just make it something I can run headless).
There is more, but that’s what I find most annoying. If I have to chose one of these then I’d say that the groupware stuff needs to be synced to any client easily (includes calendar and contacts IMO)

Not OP, but the lack of Linux support is my biggest issue with them.

Fuck. Really? I’m seriously considering switching to Proton but I’m also in the middle of moving to Linux and that’s not negotiable. Shit I took Linux support for granted.

The Linux client isn’t perfect, but you can download the openVPN config file and set up individual servers yourself. It’s all laid out on their website, fairly simple. If you know what you’re doing, you can also edit the config files to allow IP-based split tunneling.

I tried their OpenVPN config files but I always get IP leaks. Any idea on how to fix that? :(

Ah, well the VPN client I config in my router so as long as Proton uses OpenVPN or WireGuard I should be able to get it to work, even though I barely know what I’m doing. Converting settings files manually to settings in pfSense is doable.

I’m using proton bridge on debian…
Downloading a .deb file is admittedly not ideal and not “the debian way” but it works
Their VPN services should be accessible by any linux client (but i’ve not tried yet)

Thanks for the info. I see they have an RPM version, too. I hope works on OpenSUSE.
