I’m just mostly commenting to vent frustration with what I’m seeing this past week as a sharp spike in captchas and sites straight up blocking Proton VPN IPs. Proton is slowed down, captcha’d and blocked at a far higher rate than any such behavior I encountered with Nord when I used them. You can do all you want to protect privacy but when you hold yourself out as the big “privacy” VPN service everyone’s gonna be suspicious that you’re gonna be the service that bad actors use and block all your traffic. I know I should also figure this will happen but I would also figure there would be more effort to prevent it from happening. I use Proton VPN because I enjoy Proton’s other services but if this keeps up I feel it may get to be unusable for me.
Unfortunately many Mullvad endpoints are blocked and slowed down too.
