 Constant disconnections without warning, the paid servers being slower than the free servers, most of the IPs are blacklisted…. I didn’t like it at all. 
 That is enshittification in my opinion of Proton.

VPNs will be slower for sure. Because you have added route to your browsing to mask your IP.

Also you will get more captcha for sure.

I think that will only change, if VPN usage is normal, and masses will move from a site that is shitty.
 
 “VPNs will be slower for sure” Oh you got me wrong, I know how VPNs work I’ve used them for many years, I meant to say I tried that one for a month, not VPNs in general. After that I went back to my VPN. 

I know they slow down your connection, but I actually was comparing the paid servers to the free servers, both are gonna slow down your regular connection. But It makes no sense that the free proton servers are faster than the paid proton servers. 

“Also you will get more captcha for sure.” I also know that VPNs are usually detected for high traffic. But that’s not what I was referring to, that’s different from Blacklisted.

This is enshittification. When companies are decreasing value for more profit. Might not be the case, but smells like it.

> that’s different from Blacklisted.
Definitely. I think I have not faced only with Tor, the blacklist issue. But I guess it is matter of time then. 
 Does anyone have the same feeling with Proton VPNs? Like it is getting enshittified?

 Get mullvad no kyc  
 Mullvad ftw 
 And you pay with bitcoin  
 Yeah but does it perform well? That’s the main issue, not everything you can pay with bitcoin is worth it. 
 Someone tell him about mullvad please

 Its the best ive had for 2 years and no issues it never disconnects easy i get a private that i wrote down and i pay in bitcoin 

Its the best on the market no one beats mullvad no one  
 Do you use a separate wallet to pay? Or your normal wallet? 
 Separate wallet. I use different wallets whenever ima pay anything with bitcoin 
 Do you mind if I ask which ones? 
 I pay with bluewallet because its easy to generate a wallet whenever i want to pay for something and then just throw it away  
 Ohh so you open a bluewallet, you transfer from your mail wallet to bluewallet, pay with with then delete the app, and if you need to pay something else you open another bluewallet again and repeat the process. 
 I delete the wallet that i paid with. Sometimes i just keep a spending wallet on bluewallet to pay with things. The beauty is that its permissionless  bro i have multiple wallets hahaha on bluewallet  
 You generate a new wallet when you need to pay for something, you send sats to it. Then you pay and then you delete that wallet? 
 Sometimes  
 Do you this because if the wallet is deleted than it obfuscates where the sats come from? 
 Im not sure if it does or if what im doing is correct. I mean there isnt a correct way to use bitcoin per say so i feel safer if you will trying to just use multiple wallets  
 I understand your point 
 Oh so you have ine wallet in blue wallet that is your wallet, and you generate others within bluewallet cause it’s easy tontransfer between bluewallet wallets. 
 Yes this the fun part of bitcoin hahaha i be playing with the butcoinsssss hahahaha 😆  
 I was going to use blue wallet as my default wallet. But now I think I’m gonna use it for payments. Which ine do you recommend as a default wallet? 
 I have a watchonly wallet with a hardware connected to that wallet and i have multiple wallets just hot wallets and i use just the regular generator path for tge wallets nothing fancy. Simpl so my setup always works and change you bluewallet password a lot. Make that password like a seed phrase too  
 Password? I didn’t get a password in bluewallet, it asked me to write down a seed phrase 
 When you op3n your wallet and see your balance click the 3 dots top right and go to security  
 I’m planning on using blue wallet as my hold wallet, so do you think I should use it as a spending wallet instead?? 
 Proton works with the govt lol 
 Experiencing the same conditions with PIA vpn service.
