I do use wireguard. Mostly because the proton app for linux is so bad.
Look into how they have you setup port forwarding on linux using the official app. They want you to open a terminal and keep a looped script running as long as you are using it.
Not only that but when I was testing it the script would start erroring out after about 5 min requiring a restart.
It’s a described feature of a paid service though, so it goes a bit beyond just being nice. More importantly for me, the app also leaks memory insanely, at least in the latest Debian build. I spun up a Windows vm with ProtonVPN because the Linux experience (which, again, I pay for) was too frustrating
Right you can use a custom script as a service to make it do what it’s supposed to do. but for an app that’s for an advertised feature of a paid service it’s a complete shit show.
Just use wireguard directly, no need for an app

I know, I use port forwarding. I simply improved the script for my needs and put it in a systemd service. It’s been working well for some time now.
Also, most other providers don’t allow port forwarding at all. Proton is being nice here.
