To people with Proton Unlimited, do you share your ProtonVPN login with others? If so, how?

Self-Hosted WireGuard Server

You can set up a WireGuard server on a cheap VPS (or your home pfSense router), install the Proton VPN WireGuard configuration on that server, and hand out your own WireGuard credentials.

pfSense as a WireGuard Gateway: Run this at home, pfSense firewall (I use a old computer ):

  1. Install WireGuard package on pfSense

  2. Configure as client — import your Proton VPN WireGuard config into pfSense

  3. Create separate WireGuard instances for your friends with their own credentials

  4. Route their traffic through the Proton VPN tunnel

pfSense Configuration: ├── WireGuard → Instances → Add Proton VPN as “upstream” ├── WireGuard → Peers → Add Proton VPN server peer ├── Firewall → Rules → Route friend subnet through WG gateway └── Give friends WireGuard config pointing to YOUR pfSense WAN

This way, you can have multiple devices connect through your pfSense, and pfSense handles the Proton VPN connection separately.

I have found putting a switch in between pfsense and modem works really well for when internet goes down, connects really quick after back up.
