I did the same thing last year and its really made me prioritize real person relationships more. Although that's been extremely difficult considering I live in a very rural area :/

I haven't had any problems with NordVPN other than the cost when I miss the renewal deals.

Good luck!

I'm glad to hear it made such an improvement in your life! I'm hoping for the same for myself. I'm not set on Proton so I'll definitely look into NordVPN (I've been hearing about that one for year). Thanks for the recommendation and well wishes!

HAPPY FOR YOU!!! that sounds awesome. i swear its so hard to break modern social media addiction but life is so much better without it >_<

Thank you for the well wishes! I really knew it was beginning to be a problem for me when I could no longer focus on a book I was reading for more than 20 minutes at a time.

I'd recommend you steer clear of Proton personally. Reason being is that Proton has a track record of sponsoring problematic content creators, their CEO openly supporting hires of elected officials who are causing a lot of this tech / AI push in the first place, and also they have in the past given data to federal agents who have asked for it. (Granted that is due to people paying with credit cards, but they never objected to releasing it.)

I stand by and strongly recommend Mullvad. It is straight forward, the price hasn't changed at all in it's existence (around $5 USD a month) and you can pay month to month without a plan, you don't even sign up with an email, just an account number, and you are able to send them cash in order to stay more anonymous. Of course you can also use credit cards as well. Mullvad is one of the only subscriptions that I have zero issue using.

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't set on Proton so I'll be looking into a couple others now that I know that. And thank you for the recommendation. I'm adding Mullvad to the list to look into now!
