I contacted Proton VPN about the TunnelVision exploit and I got a response. I feel great about it, thank you Proton!
Hi,
Thank you for your patience.
Our engineers have conducted a thorough analysis of this threat, reconstructed it experimentally, and tested it on Proton VPN. Please note that the attack can only be carried out if the local network itself is compromised.
Regardless, we’re working on a fix for our Linux application that will provide full protection against it, and it’ll be released as soon as possible.
If there’s anything else that I can help you with in the meantime, please feel free to let me know.
Have a nice day!
Not a fucking thing you said matters if the exploit still exists because it can be used to get someone, somewhere.
Oh, there’s an air-tight solution. Let’s rely on everyone doing exactly the right thing every time, especially those nontechnical people. That never goes wrong.
Not at all, but when there is a fucking CVE about it, blowharding about “eh it’s not really a big deal guy, trust me I know better” kinda makes me question the blowhard’s experience. I think I’ll go with the CVE and say that yeah, this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
Also did you think my comment was a direct reply to yours? Have you not seen the multitude of other comments in other threads just writing this off like as if it can be ignored entirely? Yours, while flippant, was not even the worst of the bunch.
