ESPECIALLY compared to that of VLC! If I was asked to name a few UIs I'd like to never ever use again, VLC would be one of the top ideas 😅

Well, the UAVs were flying and now they aren't — after hitting the refinery they stopped.
Solid truth here! 🤣

These votes of course can't affect the results of "elections", but they are often used as sort of "loyalty check" for governors of regions, heads of governmental organizations and state-owned companies: if they managed to herd people into voting right — they are doing their job well, if there is opposition voting or the turnout is low, they might get replaced.
It might sound stupid and cynical and there are other factors, but this is how things are 😩

What's the best course of action to take to bring the batch download option back to the configuration file download page?
Should I file a feature request from one of the official apps? Anything else? 🤔

@protonmail
Maybe your engineers could do part of that and offer something to those who are tech-savvy and who are okay with less user-friendly and maybe suboptimal performance-wise solution. Obviously it would be still better than this solution I'm using currently with phone acting as a VPN box.

@protonmail
Different ones are probably used for Stealth than for Wireguard UDP. I suppose the app retrieves it using Proton API, but I would have to handle it myself somehow. There are also encryption keys to worry about — again, I suspect, the app takes care of that currently — so many things to figure out from reading the code.

@protonmail
Using Wireguard over a TLS channel is a neat trick, but it isn't exactly rocket surgery and it should be possible without any apps. I have found Proton's fork of wireguard-go on GitHub and it looks like code for it is there and it's what the Andoid app, I suppose, uses. However current implementation uses Android-specific bits and even if I'd be able to get around that and add an option to use TLS from command line, I'd still need additional information like ports.

@protonmail
Thank you for information! Any plans to make it possible to use Stealth without any apps so I could use it on my proxy directly?
Right now I've resorted to using my phone as a VPN box, my proxy is connected to it over wireless connection and both of them are connected to a router that is in turn connected to my ISP, three devices are involved so I can just access the Internet over wired connection. Not only it's a little bit unorthodox, but it's also suboptimal to say the least.

А вдруг комбинировать как раз можно, а по-отдельности нельзя? 😼

To transfer the configuration to my proxy I have to disconnect the VPN on my phone — this process is extremely daunting, I can't do this download configurations one at a time 😩

@protonmail
I can probably guess the reason why it was done: people were keeping outdated configurations, but that's not the reason to remove the option — add a warning, don't remove it for the ones who know precisely what they are doing. I'm a Proton Unlimited customer, there are over a thousand of servers in US alone, I hope at least one of them might still be accessible and I can still have uncensored access not on my phone only.

@protonmail
When Stealth protocol is going to become available on anything other than phones?
People have been asking for it since late 2022: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/win-app/issues/64
To make matters worse you have removed the option to download OpenVPN configurations in bulk.
I'm in Russia, so most servers are blocked, I'm attempting to find a configuration that might still work, but I can only access the download page from my phone where Stealth works. I don't have the luxury to download them one-by-one 🤬

@seiKay
Duopoly is only part of the problem, the fact that it becomes mandatory to have a smartphone is already pretty bad, even if there were forth or fifth choice 🤷

I didn't own a cellphone in mid 2000s and it was pretty hard to get certain thing done already, now is the time when you are forced to have a smartphone, and one of the current ones to boot, capable of running applications from official stores that often impose a slew of restrictions themselves: Google Play services and all that 😫
