Great post! I really enjoyed reading this and found it quite informative. You explained things in a very simple and clear way, which makes it easy to understand even for beginners.

I especially liked the part about consistency and practical approach — it’s something many people overlook. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights, keep up the good work!https://waltonsecurity.com.au/

Smart move—people really underestimate how easily info can slip on screen. Blurring sensitive details, hiding overlays, and double-checking recordings before upload can save a lot of trouble. Stay safe and keep your setup secure, https://vagasnorio.com/

PSA for the cooking Facebook group addicts (like me)...

If you're tired of losing good recipes because Facebook's "saved videos" feature is a disaster, there's a downloader called Snapsaveup that just works. HD quality, no watermark, no annoying popups.

Link is https://snapsaveup.com/, paste video URL, download, done.

I now have a whole folder of recipe videos for when I actually have time to cook them. Which is never. But at least I have them.

Just a quick shoutout for any Pakistani parents here who have kids in matric or intermediate, bookmark https://resultsscout.com/ before result season hits.

I learned this the hard way last year. Board's official website crashed within 20 minutes of results being announced. Spent two hours refreshing. Finally found Results Scout through a random WhatsApp forward and got my son's result in 30 seconds.

They cover all major boards and also prize bond draw results which is a bonus for me personally.

Saving this post for next year's result announcement lol.

One minor difference of opinion. It needs to not be a toggle. This intrusive criminal screenshot aid needs to be completely gone! It serves exactly ZERO purpose. No one wants their IP revealed in this, or any OTHER, manner. If we need to see our true IP, there are other easy ways to go about it. Which don't hurt security routinely as this anti-feature does.

To Shivram (and all others). This problem we're all complaining about is NOT an oversight on the part of Proton VPN. It is INTENTIONAL. This "dramatic asterisks visual" which converts your TRUE IP to asterisks "dramatically" under the super ironic and gaslighting heading "Protecting Your Digital Identity", is an anti-feature that used to NOT exist in Proton VPN. Proton only added it about 2 years ago. It serves exactly ZERO purpose, except to make it possible for government goons or other criminals to SCREENSHOT your true IP. And furthermore, Proton VPN KNOWS this fact, because I have TOLD THEM several times! It's not an "innocent mistake" by someone at Proton. I am 100 percent convinced of that! It is an open and deliberate attempt to lull their customers into complacency, while they (or someone(s) inside Proton) weaken the security in the most brazen way possible. Right in front of your eyes! I'm not being "paranoid", I'm being "descriptive" here. Sometimes the best way to do something truly and unimaginably AWFUL is to do it right in plain sight. That way people will actually make mental excuses for it, thinking it could not POSSIBLY be as bad as what it looks like. But this asterisks animation thing that REVEALS your true IP is exactly that! It is a bald-faced effort to REVEAL everyone's true IP address to any screengrabber, including government goons, who can get such a remote access tool (RAT) or otherwise, on your devices! It is OUTRAGEOUS and INTOLERABLE. We need to organize off site, if this is not rectified ASAP, and form a class action lawsuit against Proton. I hope to avoid it, but they are currently making it hard to avoid thinking about a class action lawsuit.

We also need to start talking this INTENTIONAL vulnerability up to YouTubers and others who make VPN review and evaluation content. Maybe they can make someone at Proton wake up and find their internal government agents! And fix this easily fixed self-damage...and quickly!

I think your complaint is the same as mine. I just opened a ticket about it myself a few minutes ago, see the wording below. BTW, I just voted for your complaint.

"(1) Stop INTENTIONALLY BROADCASTING your customers digital identity to SCREENGRABBERS on the Proton VPN splashscreen under the false gaslighting heading "Protecting Your Digital Identity", which you do every single time we change our IP addresses! (2) And find the GOVERNMENT MOLE(s) in Proton who got this EXTREME and OBVIOUS privacy violation designed and implemented in the first place!

How this hasn't been actioned yet is crazy - asterisks by default, click to reveal.

An essential recommendation for streamers and presenters. Adding this toggle would seamlessly align with secure platforms like https://caapcutmodapkk.com/ further strengthening user privacy and protection during screen sharing sessions.

This is an excellent and much-needed suggestion. A simple toggle to hide the on-screen IP address would make a huge difference for streamers, presenters, and anyone who shares their screen. Accidentally revealing your IP during a live broadcast poses a real security risk, and it’s something that can happen in just a second. Replacing the visible IP with asterisks when the toggle is enabled is a clean, effective solution. It would add an important layer of protection without changing the app’s functionality — definitely a feature worth implementing.

Definitely something that should be added, but you should definitely use window capture or game capture instead of display capture. (Alt tabbing is one example of another way you can leak sensitive information on stream)

i really like this idea! (p.s. what is up with all the bot comments in this thread, yeesh)

The fact that this is not a feature yet, contradicts with the “Privacy by default” slogan.
