A new package mimicked the popular 'requests' library on the Python Package Index (PyPI) to target macOS devices with the Sliver C2 adversary framework, used for gaining initial access to corporate networks.
With mullvad, proton or iVPN, just enable lockdown mode or what proton calls the "permanent" kill switch.
That should block all unprotected traffic with no issue
Edit, I used policy plus to delay my quality updates by 30 days and my feature updates by 365 days and a couple of days ago I paused my windows updates because I saw britec09 talking about how some of the more recent updates to windows 11 will cause bluescreens sometimes. So I'm not affected.
Session comes with its own anonymity network...you sometimes need a VPN to access it, but still.
And even though there's no quantum encryption on it yet. Whoever would try to use a quantum computer to break in would still need to use it for quite awhile on hundreds of different servers each processing thousands of different people's traffic at any time.
That the labels for the apps get truncated so you can only read "Proton" plus the first letter of the app. I'm only able to distinguish based on the icons which isn't great because Pass and Drive are similar colors, and Pass and VPN, and Drive and Calendar are similar shapes.
Proton is a very privacy-friendly thing to choose.
But if you're in a position where you might need to worry about someone using a quantum computer to monitor your internet activity, you might want to choose a different VPN provider that offers quantum-secure encryption. Like Mullvad or iVPN.

They sometimes have trouble reading what I'm actually saying sometimes too.
Just respond telling them that they didn't read what you typed and explain again that you're talking about the VPN app on android.
By the way, Android user and proton unlimited subscriber here, I've never seen any ads inside the proton VPN app on android. Not from proton, not from anything.
I don't live in the EU. The only promos I've ever gotten for any proton products were through proton mail and the pages on lemmy and reddit. Never in the VPN app
I would love to see proton pass adopt a form of emergency access akin to Bitwarden. Have I missed it? I believe it’s crucial to have a trusted person be able to access your vault in the incident one is not able to.
You mean like something to compete with services like DeleteMe, Incogni and Aura?
I'd be down for that, I'd like it to be included with proton family, that would give me a good reason to bite the bullet and pay the extra money for it.
I have started the year with a paid subscription subscription for @protonmail. I am very found of @protonprivacy services and Proton Mail has replaced GMail

I’ll post any other relevant info I learn of here.]...
Hey OP! I edited what I said before. Adguard for desktop would be great as an extra layer of protection for the adblocking and malware blocking proton gives you.
