FWIW I am not enjoying the Proton app experience. I can’t favorite servers so I have to manually search and connect to the location I want each time.

i want this too but, wouldn’t that list also be a great asset for the companies blocking VPNs?

Yeah if default settings, mullvad is probably hard to beat if tor is off the table.

Firefox sync is E2EE too (or at least can be, mine is)

Appreciate the info. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives? I do see reports that NordVPN seems to work for mlb blackouts but nothing on mullvad, however I could trial them I suppose.

Edit: tried mullvad and mlb.tv won’t even allow the login 😞

I’ve tried IVPN a number of times but it never works for getting around mlb.tv blackouts which is my biggest use case. ExpressVPN has just been reliable for me in that regard.

It’s very likely not related at all. Had a client last week also start getting these popups and asked for a GPO to stop them. This is just a MS marketing campaign for copilot, lol.

I tried IVPN recently but had a ton of trouble getting MLB.tv streams to work. Switched back to ExpressVPN for now.

thanks for sharing, looks like some good alternatives here.
