Proton VPN does not log, is Swiss based, and (as far as I can tell) is honest and can [split tunnel (proof)](https://protonvpn.com/support/protonvpn-split-tunneling/)


joesephsmom

does it have the opposite of a split tunnel? Or does any service have that?


MartinsRedditAccount

What do you mean "the opposite"? It supports split tunneling (on Windows, at least) in the sense of either sending certain programs through the VPN OR excluding some programs from the VPN.


joesephsmom

If I ONLY want spotify and qbit to be through the vpn, it would be easier to say, "only these 2" versus saying "not app 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 etc" And yea, i know u can bind qbit to the vpn, but for other apps.


MartinsRedditAccount

On Windows there are these options: * Split Tunneling (On/Off) * **Mode Options**: * Exclude apps/IPs from using VPN tunnel * Only included apps/IPs will go through VPN tunnel * Apps (List) * IPs (List)


joesephsmom

hey, thanks

No problem, I've been a ProtonVPN subscriber basically since they launched it, if you have any more questions I'll be happy to check.

I always regretted missing their very limited lifetime deals. Lucky bastards those that got them.


MartinsRedditAccount

I might be mistaken, but I only remember there being lifetime *raffles*, so don't recall it being possible to actually outright buy a lifetime license?


Eraldorh

I remember not long after their launch there was an open sale of a small number of lifetime accounts, can't remember exactly how many but a few hundred I'd imagine. There's also been some raffles they mentioned in emails over the years.

Beauty, looks like this is the move! Would you say the 2yr deal is worth it?

i use mullvad and had no problems with torrenting stuff, and its good for public wifi like on my college campus since the only way i can play online games is using wireguard port 53 bc they block udp traffic + its cheap 5 euro month.


godwit12

Proton VPN or Mullvad, I wouldn't use anything else.


Wulffricc

Mullvad all the way

I thought Mullvad doesn't support torrenting anymore

If you plan on seeding torrents afterwards then yes, because they've removed port forwarding. If you are just downloading from a public tracker and not seeding after then it is fine.


plunki

Hey, so I definitely seed some stuff even though I don't have port forwarding - why can some/any connect wothout port forwarding?

Wulffricc

IIRC windscribe is based in Toronto Canada so unfortunately it doesnt fit the criteria, decided to go with Proton VPN


xavim2000

Ah my mistake. I missed that bit of the criteria

It's a massive faff and unless you specifically want to deal with the hassle it's not worth the time and effort.


GrimlokZ28

Where would one start in making their own?


securitybreach

>Where would one start in making their own? Look up OpenVPN
