Proton CEO Andy Yen projects a calm persona and rails against Big Tech and critiques AI. Internally, he is pushing engineers to build Proton with AI, even when they have security concerns.
Anyone have any recommendations for email, drive, vpn, and password manager?
VPN? Ideally one that I can use on Graphene as well as OpenVPN for router. I’ve heard AirVPN maybe?
Set up your VPN through RethinkDNS. It supports both OpenVPN and Wireguard, and you can set up DNS block lists with it as well. It takes some setup, but you can have it up and running within 30 minutes
Vaultwarden for passwords and TOTP?
KeePass also works as a password manager, and since it’s stored locally you can sync between devices with SyncThing. Just make sure to set up the “file versioning” settings in Syncthing to something besides “TrashCan” or “None” so you can configure how many old versions you keep as a backup and for how long before they auto-delete
Recommendations for email? I use FairEmail if I need to access my old emails.
Mailbox.org has plans that let you use your own domain for easier migration, lets you use aliases, and can be accessed via 3rd-party email managers like Thunderbird (unlike Tuta).
For storage, it depends on what you need. For now I’m mainly set up to have SyncThing manage common folders between devices, at least until I get a NAS and/or media server set up. If you already have a server I’ve heard NextCloud is pretty common, it’s supported to be a self-hosted alternative to Google Drive
