Free ProtonVPN now doesn't allow selection of specific servers and split-tunneling in its client (+ workaround for Android)
(i.imgur.com)
First of all a disclaimer: I am not upset about the removal of manual server selection as this is a free service. They don't need to provide such services at all, so something is better than nothing.
What happened:
This morning I opened the ProtonVPN app on my phone and got greeted with a message stating free accounts can now only use automatic server selection and addition of free servers in Poland and Romania.
However, I also noticed split-tunelling is now paywalled as well.
Now, this is rather weird. Split-tunelling is already in the app and is something that works only on the client side, thus not putting any extra load on the servers. Quite the contrary, actually, as it allows some apps to not use the VPN, thus use less bandwidth.
The automatic-selection-only allows for better load balancing, so that makes sense.
Now to the workaround.
They still allow manual OpenVPN and Wireguard setup even for free accounts, at least for now.
To do so, login to ProtonVPN and go to account. There's OpenVPN credentials which are used for OpenVPN authentication. Then go to downloads, select appropriate options including the specific server and download the ovpn config file.
Client: OpenVPN for Android
This app also supports split tunneling (edit config -> Allowed apps).
ProtonVPN has an article on how to set up this app, but it's really just importing the config and adding your OpenVPN ProtonVPN credentials which you grabbed before.

I need help download lectures from https://ww.pw.live . I have the subscription for now but want to keep the lectures for future reference.
It was easier to download before as the link was to be modified a little and it would download through yt-dlp. They have recently changed their cloudfront servers and the old method does not work.
A new method was shared in YouTube but it only allows downloads through 1DM app on Android and through a telegram bot. It uses the following website 'https://psitoffers.store/1dm.php?vid=[VIDEO_ID]' to add some Policy ID, Key pair ID, Signature to the original link. When I paste this link into yt-dlp it throws 403 Forbidden error.
I have checked the DL links in 1DM. The Policy ID, Key Pair ID remain the same while the Signature changes for each lecture. How can I generate my own or get them from the browser, and pass it to yt-dlp for batch downloading? I saw a section named Policy, Key Pair ID, signature in cookies but they don't have any ID value.
I don't know what streaming method they use but it shows as octet-stream in the network tab.
I tried asking the dev of the new method, but he won't reply anything.
Please refer me to any other resources that may help me with this.

https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu
~~Edit: Just a note: Yuzu's latest build is mainline-0-1734. The latest build of Yuzu on Flathub is mainline-0-1733.~~
~~Edit#2: As a commenter on this post mentioned: Flathub has now been updated for the latest build of Yuzu -> mainline-0-1734~~
Also: Thank you @Krafting@lemmy.world for providing a link to a post that consults preserving/forking Yuzu’s codebase.

Edit#3: Yuzu and Citra have now been removed from the Flathub website, but are however still available via their flatpak commands:
flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu
flatpak install flathub org.citra_emu.citra
For more context, A Flathub admin responded to someone on the Flathub Matrix channel saying that Yuzu won't be removed from Flathub completely until they "understand legal implications better"

Thank you to ObjectiveJellyfish36 for providing the image and information about the Flathub Admin's response.

Long time Kodi and Plex user, it was a matter of time that I started messing around with this.
