    Networking stuff IS my strong suit, and I’m confused about what points most people here, including OP, are trying to make here. Maybe I’m just not awake enough yet.

    Wtf proton what? What do people think Proton is saying and what’s the WTF part…?

      I don’t think the confusion has anything to do with networking. I’ve been puzzling over this post for a few minutes now… To be honest, I think I’m just more confused.

      Maybe this is some sort of AI battle of the wits or contagious stroke or something.

      Look at the link in the description.

      Basically, someone went on a rant saying using public wi-fi w/o a VPN is extremely risky, and Proton is basically boosting it, implying a relationship w/ the OP. Proton argues that this is satire and part of a viral trend of misattributing quotes and topics, and the poster here is calling Proton out on it, likening them to the scammy VPN companies that sponsor YouTube videos and other SM content that oversell their claims.

      So basically Proton claims they’re being satirical, and the poster is saying they’re just as bad as other VPN companies.
