depends, why do you want vpn in the first place?
proton free isn't bad
privacy mainly, lowkey why im posting it here
imo it's good enough especially when you don't trust your isp/gov
i dont really trust them but i also don't think they're untrustworthy
i just like the extra layer of privacy
I think they pay mullvad. It has a no logs policy. Better than most. I currently use Mullvad but maybe will try proton when it expires as they've had some missteps, but they ain't funding Nazi parties.
Set up DoH globally for your devices if you need privacy. Something like Adguard DNS.
i use nextdns, its good right?
I don't know. Probably not bad. Large DNS providers tend to be OK unless specifically known to be not OK. Just make sure you really use DoH
