Proton also, unlike PIA, doesn’t routinely crash and break my VPN access on iPhone.
My sessions go until I disable them (for stuff like sports betting that legally has to restrict VPN usage).

I use Proton vpn and love it. I actually like mullvad more as a standalone vpn, but Proton vpn is still great and I use it because of the whole bundle. It’s a great deal and VERY convenient. The unlimited email aliases built in seamlessly to the password manager is a game changer for easy to use privacy.

Hey so I just looked up Proton and see no mention on their main marketing page for email aliases or password manager. Where can I find thst? I’m intrigued obviously haha. I’ve been woth Norn for a couple years but dont do anything crazy or get additional benefits.

Others have linked it to you but let me tell you why I like it. It lets you generate a new email alias and password instantly whenever you make a new online account somewhere. Or just whenever you want. I’ve been slowly changing all my accounts over to their own unique email alias that can’t be tied back to my main email. My main address is known by nobody at all.
The main benefits are if someone steals a password, the email address that comes with it will only be useful for that one account. (I don’t need to go over the benefits of a standard password manager.) and so if that email is leaked or added to a spam list, I simply delete that address after changing the address for the single account it was used for. I can tell exactly which address is getting spam easily. 0 spam. Ever. Spam email has been solved for me.
Proton remembers which sites use which email/password as well.
Other than that, it’s just good for privacy. Having a different email for each account makes it harder to track a user across accounts.
These addresses are somewhat auto generated, with the name of the site along with a random word and a few numbers. But if you want to create another email address, you get a handful of custom ones for free with the subscription too. You can revoke these the same way, so you can have a professional looking email to hand out to people that’s not auto generated, without giving out your account’s root email address.

Yeah the moment Proton developed a password manager I switched. Very convenient and the price ain’t bad if you use all their services.
