I’ve been seeing a lot of confusion around the TunnelVision vulnerability. While I’m no expert, I’ve done a fair share of research and I’ll edit this post with corrections if needed. The goal of this post is to answer the question: does this affect me?...
Got in touch with ProtonVPN support and asked about this. Here’s their reply:
Our engineers have conducted a thorough analysis of this threat, reconstructed it experimentally, and tested it on Proton VPN.
We concluded that:
The attack can only be carried out if the local network itself is compromised
Our Windows and Android apps are protected against it
For iOS and macOS apps, you are completely protected from this as long as you’re using a Kill Switch and a WireGuard-based protocol (our apps use them by default, and if a user wants to use something other than WireGuard derivates, they’d have to manually set it up). Note that Stealth, WireGuard TCP and Smart protocol on iOS/macOS are all WireGuard-based.
For our Linux app, we’re working on a fix that would provide full protection against it.
I’m not a true mechanical keyboard enthusiast. I mean I like a good keyboard for typing code, so I rolled with model-Ms in the 80s and 90s, then some expensive Cherry keyboard I only recently retired because it was utterly spent (and it was PS/2), and now I happily use a Wooting Two HE....
I rock a full size realforce r2 at work AND and home because I feel more productive with a keypad and other helper keys. It’s less mental overhead. I’m not using the mouse much when I type (modal editor)

Why are keyboards getting smaller?

What's the best approach to email today?
And what do you actually use? I know the answer is probably self-hosting but maybe there are other solutions for a decent privacy.
