Hi all,

Moving away from USA solutions I also want a good European vpn. I contracted GOOSE because it's from my country, but their servers are spotty on mobile and I regularly have connection issues on my Linux.

I want a stable VPN, streaming and P2P enabled, from a European provider. Who has good options? Must be Linux compatible either through an app or OpenVPN/WireGuard.

Is proton a good option?

I have positive experience with Surfshark, their branding comes of as American (to me), but they are from Europe. Owned by the company behind Nord VPN now. No experience with them. Also curious to people's experience with proton VPN (the technological experience, not their CEO experience)

Very positive experience with Surfshark also here. Wonder why it appears to you as American, because in it's web says that was founded in Lithuania in 2018 and now the company offering the service, Surfshark BV, is registered in Netherlands. So European it is too!

I know, I did some research before using a coupon from a youtuber, but before i did i just had an expectation based on their name and logo and all. Maybe i am the only one and i didn't have to write that, maybe I'm not and somebody might skip over Surfshark because of their branding.
