Hi Guys. Do you have any thoughts on Tutanota?
@marc0janssen I used it in the past before I discovered @protonmail (which is now my go-to). I hear good things about #Tutanota though. I don't follow their developments, but as far as I know they're still one of the best out there.
@marc0janssen Good to hear. I can't remember exactly when I first heard about @protonmail, but it didn't take long to build trust and I think they're doing a great job in every way. I'm also happy they've recently open sourced all their apps. I rely on using a VPN on at all times (mainly for privacy), and @protonvpn has been excellent as well.
@syntax @protonmail @protonvpn I use nordvpn for that purpose. I guess they deliver a great top.
I use a VPN on my macs. But seldom on my mobile device
@syntax I also forget to switch it on. Just laziness or "not thinking about it"
@marc0janssen Not sure about Nord, but Proton has a useful 'always-on' feature as well as a kill switch. I think they're also planning on introducing an auto connect at boot feature, which would be great as I usually have to manually run an alias command from my Terminal every time I log in.
@syntax Nordvpn is started on startup and you can pick a country from which nordvpn Selects the fastest node. Which basically means a different vpn on every startup.
@syntax do you use VPN on your on wifi for mobile? And do you use VPN when you are on 4G!?
@marc0janssen Both. I have Porton on my phone (which runs LineageOS), as well as any other personal device I use (laptops mainly). I have the kill switch and always-on features enabled. Basically I don't surf etc without either a VPN or Tor.
@syntax I am not too paranoid about it. I do use a VPN where I can. But so surf without. I do not too extreme content. Or I do participate in activities that are deemed to be dangerous for any one. If you catch my drift.
@marc0janssen Yes, I understand. It's a personal thing to decide where you stand on the matter. Everyone has their own 'threat model'. I just passionately believe that ISPs and others have no right to track and log my activities, no matter how trivial they are. For me, it's more the principle than really believing I'll come to any harm.
@syntax for me it's basically the same. I just a little less strict about it. I do think employers don't need to mix it in private matter on wifi at work. I do understand the for example banks operate via ssl but I don't want them to know I am for instance for my financial stuff.
@marc0janssen Why not mobile?
