Protonvpn simple guide?

Is there a simple guide available now that protonvpn-cli has been deprecated? (Although I still have it on my 13.1 machines). Thanks
 
DEPRECATED: This version is deprecated and unsupported upstream. The port needs an update, which would require a fair amount of effort. Use OpenVPN or Wireguard with configuration files provided by ProtonVPN instead.

By paying you give personal information.

The question is, if they collect information and if they pass it to third parties.

Proton offers free VPN, they ask nothing when you subscribe, but can still collect info from connections.
 
BTW, it seems to be extremely simple to have a simple configuration working.

Just get a configuration file path/<devicename>.conf from:

account.protonvpn.com

Proton VPN

Proton VPN is a security focused FREE VPN service, developed by CERN and MIT scientists. Use the web anonymously, unblock websites & encrypt your connection.
account.protonvpn.com account.protonvpn.com

And then the command: wg-quick up path/<devicename>.conf

No idea if this offers enough privacy.

And if one wants it only for browsing, as a substitute for a proxy, the chrome app works also very stable.

Well, just tested since yesterday.

"Free VPN" with limitation in speed and locations...not thank you. For that, it's better that they don't offer anything.

I wanted to use their full service, pay for it.

When the service is free, you are the product.

Perhaps it is free to attract clients for their paid products?

The question, what they win with free services, is always interesting.

In any case, it is good to experiment setting a wire guard client: very easy.
And sure the same for a server.

Again, what's the point of a paid product if, when you go to pay for it, you're denied access because you're in a certain country? (Venezuela in this case.)

In fact, ProtonVPN advertised in 2024 that it was offering "free VPN to Venezuela, in defense of freedom," but you still couldn't afford the paid service.

Tuta, it's the same story.
