It’s the author conflating “Linux” and “open source”. In their statement, Proton states “Linux community” snd the author promptly writes “open source community”. Knowing the difference between the two seems like a requirement to write for a tech publication, but maybe that’s just my crazy opinion.
I think the protocol was developed in-house and only the code is open source? I think the protocol itself is not public to make it harder to spot, since its whole purpose is to dodge deep packet inspection
Vless/Reality and AWG are both open source and they’re still dodging DPI just fine. Can someone pass the memo to the Security Exprets at Proton that security through obscurity is the worst stake to gamble on when each packet in your transmission is gonna be dissected and studied by a gaggle of state researchers working on DPI anyway
Open-source enthusiasts and proprietary software? That does not sound like the happy union.

What is a proprietary protocol? Is that like mpeg where everyone knows how to implement it but you have to pay them to use it?
Well the stealth mode is only on protonvpn, so they haven’t allowed anybody else to use it either
But is the code open source or not?
The clients are but servers aren’t
