Pinned until Cyber Monday.

For existing Proton users, there seems to still be discounts available if you extend the billing cycle (ie going from 1 year to 2 years). For example you can get Unlimited for $7.99/month if you extend to two years.

Not sure if this is always available or a Black Friday promotion.

I think that is always available

Sadly Proton deals are available for upgrading plan or new users only.
No discounts to extend my subscription :disappointed_face:

Hey guys!

I saw the post is live, so I thought maybe this will be helpful for many users around since it’s a multi service deal.

Usenet Providers started their Black Friday as well, and I think this is the best deal, based on the mentions in the community, quality, and even price, considering it’s for 3 Usenet Providers + VPN in just 1 deal.

It was flagged as I was reporting too. Please remove this comment (with a warning to the user user account). It was affiliated garbage.

I know it seems like affiliate nonsense but it is actually not an affiliate link and it is legitimately a good deal for Usenet (probably not their VPN provider but whatever) so I’m going to allow this…

It’s not a VPN that should be encouraged to use.

But it’s your call. I don’t get it though.

I wouldn’t encourage using that VPN.

Usenet access is a legitimate service though (because providers need to store literally 300+ TB per day for many years) and this provider is not just a reseller. It’s definitely a very niche service but it is a good price if anyone happens to need it.

7 posts were split to a new topic: How useful is an email service without its own calendar?

I don’t use Startmail personally, it seems like a decent product, I just saw they were running a promotion so I thought I would repost it here.

I guess it really depends on your needs and preferences, personally it doesn’t bother me. You could run your own local CalDAV server alongside an email product.

Startmail isn’t recommended by Privacy Guides.
