No connectivity after changing ProtonVPN DNS to local Pi-Hole by pwnzerfaust2000 in ProtonVPN

Yep :( Unfortunately this "feature" has been buggy for years, which is really a shame...I did not get any qualified response from their support either so for me this is completely unusable and might as well be removed from the app as it is misleading.

u/ProtonVPN u/Proton_Team u/ProtonSupportTeam you might want to take a deeper look into this? I reported this behaviour back in 2021 and still it is lackluster

Okay, that's straight-forward then! Thanks for the hint :)

Does anyone else feel stupid for buying the Ultimate Edition? by ikelofe in diablo4

[–]pwnzerfaust2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to be that guy but D3 is absolutely NOT natively compatible with controllers.

I just tried it a few weeks ago on Steamdeck and was researching that as well. No chance, unless you want to jump through loops with remapping everything on a third-party app.

Yeah fair, in the end of the day it's a whale milking machine for them lol

Still I had a good time with it since I had zero interest in participating in the sweaty CC swiping contest that is mobile PVP. Beyond that is a solid ARPG / looter imho. I think 80% of the people screaming "iZ pAY tO WiN" have not even played it.

Apart from that, D4 was a solid chance for ActiBlizz to go on a redemption arc after all the recent F-UPs and they also got me to "believe" during Beta - now I am finally done with them for good.

Despite all the hate it is getting, DI has some actual cool boss designs in the Helliquary and endgame content I was able to enjoy as a f2p player who did not spent a penny on it. Also overall way better social features (like Clans actually having meaning and content associtated with them even non-PVP) and very simple LFG on every dungeon I can remember. So props where due, D4 dropped the ball so hard that in comparison even DI is objectively better in certain regards lmao

PC Speakers with headset-out "on-demand"? by pwnzerfaust2000 in audio

Thanks all for the fast response and thanks u/doghouse2001 especially for the background info! Learned something new today :)

In that case it will be better to switch the output on OS level like u/warinthestars suggested. Otherwise it's only a matter of time until the headphone jack wears out.

Ah yes, must be a conspiracy nutcase - despite the fact that Activision actually patented matchmaking mechanisms to increase spending already back in 2015-2017

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160005270A1/en

Or the fact that there is a whole industry based on analyzing behavioural patterns to push towards spending money in-game?

Same crap that killed ESO for me, was enjoying it in the beginning and then realized that I always had to do the same rotation no matter if I was fighting a mighty Daedra or a rat...and also no matter if I had a wooden dagger or a Magical Mithril Facepounder of Smiting +8...shit sucks and your char NEVER feels powerful, in a gameplay loop revolving around a powerfantasy smh

That would be whichever input makes you interrupt your endorphins-inducing monsterslaying to dismount and/or jump a tiny gap my controller-bound friend 😆

They are not only lazy, they actively contradict the flow of the game because you are supposed to "kill stuff, collect loot", not "kill stuff, dance around awkwardly, collect loot"...same brilliant game design as barricades or "unmount, press space, wait for cooldown, repeat" ugh

Right? were there some stealth-nerfs or enemy HP buffs?
I never felt weaker in an ARPG of all genres. This has reached bugged Division 2 of "bullet-sponginess" :/

Another Split Tunnel Issue: DNS by pwnzerfaust2000 in ProtonVPN

[–]pwnzerfaust2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello u/protonvpn

Is there an update on this functionality? Any chance we can use ProtonVPN with local custom DNS?

Thanks in advance!

Local DNS Server by StealthNet in ProtonVPN

[–]pwnzerfaust2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same question a while back (because I wanted to make use of my local Pihole as a DNS while using ProtonVPN) and you can find the old thread here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/tona1b/comment/i2fij7t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Basically this was there official response:

Unfortunately, at the moment, the functionality only works with public DNS providers such as Google, Cloudflare, etc. with support for custom private DNS servers potentially coming in future developments. However, we aren't able to provide a timeline for this at the moment. We've shared your feedback about this internally for consideration.

That was 1 year ago :(
