First, thanks a lot for your responsiveness. It feels great to keep in touch with my favourite service providers 😁
I'm a Mail Plus user, considering Unlimited, to use VPN. Given the "conflict" with DNS settings when switching on a VPN, how do you see your ad-blockkbg capabilities versus, for example, #nextdns ?
I believe #nextdns might be more configurable, but overall protection level is probably equal to the one of #protonVPN ?
The beauty of federation is that the official Proton Mastodon account was tagged and throughr Mastadon they could directly answer into the thread here :-)
No it isn’t. If you don’t know what it is, consider educating yourself instead of confidently stating an incorrect position.
You really ought educating yourself more before posting such stuff please. The commenter you’re answering to is using Mastodon, replying via Mastodon and we see the answers here. You can verify that fact yourself here:
We use lemmy and can read and answer straight into Mastodon. This is the beautfy of the federation and the ActivityPub protocol. It is possible to interact with eachother between different services.
In the following link as example, the Proton team answered from Mastodon and we can view the comment in lemmy:
I am not confused at all. My quote literally shows otherwise, however this discussion is senseless. There’s no here with federation and ActivityPub protocol. I am out of that discussion now.
Yea I am glad, even though you don’t know what Lemmy is, we’re able to interact, thats cool. Hope so see you more often around here from whichever frontend or service you access the information 😁
For an out of the box system, Netshield works good indeed. If you want more customization and better granular control, you can achieve more with NextDNS. Out of the box, NextDNS is empty and you’ll have to choose for yourself what you’re blocking. Thus out of the box, Netshield is better. Once you’re having a proper NextDNS config, you’re likely to block a little more with NextDNS, based on personal experience.
This will leak DNS requests on purpose outside of the Proton VPN Tunnel to NextDNS, with DoH enabled, for the purpose of a better customization of DNS blocking.
tl;dr: For a normal user, Netshield is good enough. For more technical user needing a better granular control, NextDNS bight be better. Read the disclaimer.
