    Proton is trying to do too many things and can’t excel at doing one thing. It’s getting too big beyond its capabilities which means services are going to suffer at a lower quality.

    If the want blanket trust from users, remove the VPN login to make it anonymous and change the VPN code to remove all anti-features and comply with native F-Droid, other RiseUpVPN is the only choice for everybody to use.

      Sure, push a known malware free vpn service while bashing a service that is very well known and respected.

        You found malware in the source code for RiseUpVPN? The source code is publicly accessible, what kind of malware is in it?
