| Proton VPN clients support two factor authentication on all platforms except Linux at the moment. Proton VPN has their own servers and datacenters in Switzerland, Iceland and Sweden. They offer adblocking and known malware domains blocking with their DNS service. Additionally, Proton VPN also offers "Tor" servers allowing you to easily connect to onion sites, but we still strongly recommend using [the official Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) for this purpose. | |||

I don't know whether this is important enough to have in a danger box at all though. This might only warrant adding a single sentence like:
The killswitch feature of the Proton VPN client is known to sometimes cause CPU kernel panics on Intel-based Mac computers.
to either the additional functionality box or the clients box above.

yeah was not sure either, but I thought if people subscribe for 2 years and than figure out the protection they expected is not offered ... idk.
I used ??? instead of !!! btw as this was also done elsewhere in the VPN page.

I'm inclined to agree with @jonaharagon on this, we don't need to reproduce the whole of that article in the warning box. I think linking to it is sufficient, and a one-sentence warning would be sufficient.

Thanks for taking this up @mfwmyfacewhen I didn't think about it anymore and wasn't sure where to take it to. If something needs to be changed still lmk. |
Sure thing, just waiting on one more approval and I think it can be merged. |

| The killswitch feature of the Proton VPN client can cause CPU kernel panics on Intel-based Mac computers. The driver error can result in the Mac randomly shutting down after hibernation. Proton, in their [support page](https://protonvpn.com/support/macos-t2-chip-kill-switch/) blamed Apple for the malfunctioning. Both parties have neglected to provide a solution besides turning the killswitch off. If you require this feature, and you are using a Mac with Intel chipset, you should consider using another VPN service. |
