    I‘m using two different setups:

    Phone with wireguard app:

    • VPN client installed on my router
    • WireGuard server Running on Router
    • Phone connects to the routers wireguard server and from there my phone is routed through the VPN client for web traffic (but I’m not using OpenWRT so you have to check if this is possible for you)

    Laptop with wireguard app and VPN installed as browser extension:

    • WireGuard app is configured to only route traffic to my local subnets through the wireguard VPN.
    • Web browser is encrypted through the VPN extension.

    Really depends on what you need. For me this setup fits my bill.

    But there’s also tailscale (which you can also selfhost: headscale)

    Additionally you could also set up your own independent wireguard server to get more granular control for routing and firewalling. But you would need a device that’s running 24/7 (same for headscale). A raspberry pi would probably be enough for that.

    Half true.

    This post is about VPN. And Proton VPN is still safe.

    Your info/news is on Proton Mail. In this case Proton was legally obliged (Swiss law) to give out identifying data for the owner of a known email address. The owner used a credit card and they had to give up the credit card info. The content and communications inside their email account is still private and was not given out. If they had used cash or crypto for paying, proton might have had no information to give out to the authorities. And again, they were obliged by law.
