Sit tight, I reckon. All the projects have been forked by one of the more involved contributors to SMT, so I doubt it’ll be long before we have rebranded versions, that’ll take an import of the settings from the original apps.
If you can live without it, I would say no. They have awful pricing for families. And they have a history of cooperation with governments to leak their users’ data.
I’m also using Bitwarden; however, the UI is a big deal for me because me being a visual person. I still use it here and there.
I’ve heard they will have a visual overhaul soon; looking forward to it + thinking of self-hosting it. Even though I’m fairly new to “self hosting” any beginner self hosting tips and tricks would be appreciated.
Is it possible you tried Keepass? I thought Bitwarden’s UI was pretty good and modern, and that’s one of the silly reasons why I picked it over keepass long time ago
I have tried KeepassX. However, I had some file conflict issues and stopped using it. Regarding the password manager, my reason is similar to what you have said, but instead, I moved to proton pass from Bitwarden.
Mullvad was throttling my iptv connection. Ironically, from the same data center, using Proton the streams weren’t throttled. So not sure if Proton is paying a premium for better bare metal and uplink or what the deal was with Mullvad. Hope you have a better experience.
I accidentally nuked my internet the other day while testing Pass. Because it’s not local hosted, I could not access a single password. That’s not cool. Still not sure if I’m sold on using Pass. I’ve also had it not always offer to save new login details and some forms it misses 2fa. Hopefully all that gets fixed soon. But I’m an unlimited user for all the other features. Luckily they prorate the upgrade if you have current service. Might as well take the jump.
Rather then committing a year to a service, do a monthly subscription until you find something you’re happy with. Then switch to annual billing if you want. I wouldn’t continue paying for a VPN that doesn’t work well. I’m personally pretty happy with PIA.
As others have mentioned, Bitwarden is a very good password manager that has a very full-featured free tier. And its paid tiers are very cheap if you decide to upgrade.
I’m also interested in hearing Proton users’ experience. On paper it looks like an okay deal, but you could get a similar suite of services from Posteo + iDrive + Mullvad + BitWarden for cheaper and not end up locked into an “ecosystem”.
However, there is legitimate value in combining email and drive space. Posteo only gives you 2GB for email, and their upgrades are rather expensive.
Also, Mullvad might not be equivalent since they axed the port forwarding feature a while back, making BitTorrent only kind-of usable (incoming connections will not work).
I used Proton Mail since college student, it was great and upgraded to Unlimited tier after getting a job. Thier VPN was okay for occasional usage. However, coming from a personal perspective, over the time I became not a fan of them branching out to other services such as Proton Pass, when they still have work to do for their existing ones (eg. split tunneling on Linux VPN client, calendar sync on Bridge, to name a few), so I downgraded to only Mail Plus. I also switched to Mullvad VPN and I like the experience better than Proton VPN. As of now, I think Proton is still a great service for email and calendar, but I’m not sure about other ones
I know for me, i don’t need all the services unlimited offers.
I created seperate accounts for the services i use as they don’t allow you to bundle only specific services together (ie just mail+ and drive+ together). This ends up saving a few bucks.
I mostly use Proton Mail, pass and VPN with free SimpleLogin Unlimited, which is a plus; however, the VPN is not as good as advertised. I’m considering moving to you are Mullvad (buying the Mullvad plan from Amazon). That way, you’re not forced to share your credentials.
As for cloud storage, I use Filen - lifetime 180GB (thinking of self-host using NAS or Raspberry Pie; however, I’ve never done it before, so it’s tough for me).
Mullvad is the gold standard if you dont need port forwarding.
You may want to look into Filen - I know they have had issues with them not using the best encryption methods. Just remember “lifetime” refers to the life of the service (which they can change at any time) and not your lifetime.
You may want to check out AirVPN - great port forwarding implementation.
Long history of being privacy respecting and completely FOSS but they don’t do audits (which is a super big deal to some and a big reason its not recommended on pg).
Just make sure to use the wireguard client as their own client kind of sucks.
