Unless I’m reading it incorrectly, the devs changed tact and this was already fixed 2 weeks ago

Proton VPN I found not good for streaming sites. Considering the forum we are on, I doubt that is a primary requirement here but it was unstable and regularly detected by the streaming sites. The stream kept getting buffering issues and the only way to fix it was a series of restarting and refreshing different things and trying different servers. Support just pushes you through a flowchart of settings questions when really their service should just work properly
It was a pretty disappointing experience considering I actually forked out money for it (not the free tier)
D2lang is good
