  • alpln on 29/10/2024 - 14:51

    NordVPN is often available with 100% cashback and it is incredible value. Right now it is still cheaper to use TopCashback with 50% back and pay US$96.93 for 27 months which is US$1.80 per month.

      Proton is in a different league to nord. Depends on your vpn needs I guess

      • alpln on 29/10/2024 - 15:16

        Could you elaborate on what you mean? They look almost identical https://restoreprivacy.com/vpn/comparison/nordvpn-vs-protonv…

          well if you're just using it to watched overseas TV or pop OSto buy something then Nord is your pick. If you actually want honest robust privacy, then Nord isn't for you.

          The reason is because Nord had a security breach of one of their VPN servers in March 2018, but didn't admit it until it's hand was forced until October 2019……a security company hiding a security breach is not a trivial breach of trust.

          But i don't use a VPN for privacy so I still use them.

        • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa on 29/10/2024 - 17:49
          +6

          Proton is for privacy. Nord is not for privacy. If the product is free then you are the product and whatnot.

          Also, the website you linked is owned/sponsored by Nord (or at the very least just trying to get you to use their referral link). You can find multiple websites with very similarly named articles praising Nord-owned VPNs while bashing others. The authors also all don't exist. Their profile pictures are AI generated and there's no information on them that doesn't link back to the same website.

          • penno2 on 30/10/2024 - 13:43

            @aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: Fascinating about the AI-generated pictures. Makes me wonder how often this sort of thing happens, and it's getting easier to do.

            Fwiw, Jim from Tech Advisor (who seems to exist as far as I can tell) reported in January that Nord have undergone another Deloitte audit and, apparently, passed with no issues. Having said that, the link to the actual audit gets a 404.

        • Firalia on 01/11/2024 - 01:30

          Proton is based in Switzerland (known for their privacy laws, don't cooperate with the 9 eyes surveilance countries) and actually have a verifiable no-logs policy, while most VPNs just say they do but are probably both logging and selling data about every website you visit.

          All the major VPNs you usually hear about are good only for streaming. If you actually want privacy, ProtonVPN and Mullvad VPN are the only options.

          Proton = suite of apps. Purchasing one often gives you something more elsewhere also

      • motlking on 29/10/2024 - 15:16

        does proton work better for streaming US Netflix etc. and for VPN subscription sign ups?

        • TheLurker on 30/10/2024 - 08:29

          I have only compared to PIA for streaming where nearly all AU streaming subs were blocked. All sites I have work on Proton, with strange intermittent alert on iView which I reconnect and it works. It does split tunnelling if stricter policies from companies. List of servers and supported features is here: https://protonvpn.com/vpn-servers

      • TheLurker on 30/10/2024 - 08:14

        I switched from PIA to ProtonVPN 6-months ago and have been very impressed. Zero-logging, 160 AU servers, multi-hop, lots of configurable options, very fast and stable. Most impressive feature is their 'stealth' protocol which was the only VPN I found that was able to bypass a locked-down hospital network. It's bespoke to Proton.

      I think we've learnt that any service with Plus suffix soon ups their prices & serves up ads.

    • Firalia on 01/11/2024 - 01:34

      Absolutely, I've been a user of the whole suite for 2 years now.
      In terms of privacy-based email providers, it's probably the best in terms of features, and Proton is a great non-profit company that's been around for quite a while.

      • parad0x on 02/12/2024 - 16:50

        @Firalia dont suppose you know how eisting subsriptions are handled if i upgraded to Ult'd?

        I got a bunh of questions around that maybe its too late to worry about what ifs, just get purchase in before its over

        • Firalia on 03/12/2024 - 02:07

          If you're upgrading it should be fine. It'll let you as long as you're not already on unlimited

            @Firalia: No, its a mess.i was on a family sub, so literally would not let me purchase any single service, not even un'imited. Not only that, but I've spent weeks going back and forth with someone first shift nuftie - and we're about 6mths into the family sub, and my partner is still using Lastpass because Proton support were about as helpfully useless as just about every - No, it could be

            @Firalia: No, its a mess.i was on a family sub, so literally would not let me purchase any single service, not even un'imited. Not only that, but I've spent weeks going back and forth with someone first shift nuftie - and we're about 2mths into the family sub, and my partner is still using Lastpass because Proton support are about as helpfully useless as everyones suppoer fhese dayscompanies No, that's probably not true because I've never spoken with them before, and I truly hope its an exception not the rule….

            Though, what I'm facing is a bug, and instead of treating it that way (or simply make a few quick changes to accounts to resolve the issue. But that's not how support seems to be any longer in my experiences with a range of places in different market segments. Instead of applying their own brains and asking "ok, I understand what the customer is doing, and the net result, how can i utilise my skills and expertise to achieve the customers goal, and close the ticket" - In some cases you'll catch anything from a half baked attempt at a trivia game, to massively outsourced call centres where the companies are so large and complex all support can do is attempt to move through the CRM enforced workflows, use prepared responses to the disgruntled customer.

            In either of my issues I faced that I referred to - The solution has and will keep being reaching a point where the answer is eating any associated costs, and finding a more reputable source for that need and not looking back. Automation is great for a lot of things, but not human satisfaction. They are trained to answer repeatedly faced problems by staff, but for the outliers There's nothing it or you can do.

            Outsourcing to massive call centres was also an automation to increase profits, reduce costs and free up time (covers moat AI business use cases to me). We all know how well that went. Businesses didn't care then and they won't care now, because until it impacts on GP, customer service/support/management¹/marketing-SPAM will be of absolutely no value . For every one that leaves another 2 join essentially.

            I'm actually happy to over the hill and on my way 6ft under. I'm not liking what the 2nd half of this century will look like for so many reasons!

          • parad0x on 04/12/2024 - 02:47

            @Firalia: Oh and then there's the line in the fine print that lists conditions that deem you inelligble for the deals, the key one being: "You cancelled a subscriptions month of less before this deal began".

            I don't think they'll take too kindly go ms cancelling during the event, purchasing two subscriptions, and I have to contact support in order to get the pro-rata credits removed from the old account… Not liking my chances after I'd seen that.

          There’s always a bit of a trust element. In this case, Proton is a non-profit organisation, they have open sourced a large portion of their code, and the emails are end to end encrypted (meaning only you can decode).

          I trust them far more than any of the VC backed companies in Silicon Valley

          • Flyerone on 30/10/2024 - 08:18

            @ozbking: They do log IP and hand over info though, which is disappointing.

              @Flyerone: I'll bet your 'research' was only as deep as the headline or the first part of that article which is what most people do.

              In the article it states Proton do not and cannot by Swiss law give any info to foreign governments, only the Swiss gov. when they have a warrant. So we Proton users in Australia do have privacy.

        • Firalia on 01/11/2024 - 01:35

          They've been security audited multiple times. Hard to fake that

      • alpln on 29/10/2024 - 16:28

      End to end encryption, in theory. With MS copilot keylogging everything before it gets encrypted however I'm also curious as to the value.

    Reverts to normal pricing after 12 months.

    • ozbking on 29/10/2024 - 19:18

      My experience is that they maintain the discount. Tried that in the past with unlimited, and now currently visionary. Still paying $18 USD a month for 6 people, based on a Black Friday sale price.

      • EightImmortals on 29/10/2024 - 20:36

  • Matt P on 29/10/2024 - 21:13

    Years ago i bought my wife a domain (her name) for professional purposes (portfolio of work - important for her industry).

    She only uses it for email these days - currently using google but they started charging (too much) for your own domain use about 12-18 months back

    Is mail plus a good substitute?

    • jayel on 29/10/2024 - 21:57

      Yes it's got good apps and web interface. One pain point was when I didn't get around to updating my payment, they locked down my account which meant they were bouncing incoming emails which meant I missed some critical emails. I'm not sure if they still do this or whether they downgrade you to a free plan.

      I think everyone should use their own domain so that they can change service providers easily, the current environment has people locked in to whatever email provider owns their emails address. At least Gmail offers email forwarding which helps to gradually move to another provider. Proton doesn't offer this.

    • unison on 30/10/2024 - 16:35

      I was able to use to deal by downgrading from unlimited to mail plus, and then going through the link above.

      Seems like you can only upgrade with the black friday deals, you can't stay at the same tier or get a deal for a lower tier than what you currently have.

          I first tried downgrading to Pass Plus and I got an error saying I have more email adresses than what's allowed, so I dont think you can downgrade to Mail Plus if you have more than 10 email addresses (I had less than 10 so I didn't run into any issue with Mail Plus).
