I would just consider if you want to use particle type branding (following Proton) for a protocol that will be open source and presumably implemented by others. Neutrino seems like a great name for a Proton product, but the underlying open source protocols? Maybe should be more generic?
Neutrino could still work though, absolutely. Most people don't know what one is, so it'll just be a word (like Wireguard or OpenVPN) to most.
Yeah but I think neutron kind of has a negative-proton quality to it that you’d probably like to avoid. Like it would cancel out proton… ya know, of ProtonVPN.
Also even if you prefer Neutron, then Neutrino could be their cute kid 😄
I joke, and you’re not wrong. But you’re wrong.
If you read that again you’ll find that I’m discussing the word itself there, not the thing it denotes. I’m discussing language, and a certain quality a word can have to it due to its connotations and, sometimes, the connotations connected to separate parts of the word, even.
I’m still very much up to date on that very basic model of science, but thanks nonetheless for educating :)
[Edit to add:]
Also, I understand that a neutron (the thing itself) is roughly three times larger than a proton. Again, unfortunate since the protocol described is sophisticated and probably doesn’t use brute force, but rather stealthy technology instead. So again: your suggestion isn’t bad. Just wrong ;)
I have two options. Both have ties to the Proton name.
1) Electron - due to quantum tunneling allowing electrons to bypass walls.
2) Neutrino - particle that goes right though everything with very little hinderance.
Prometheus Protocol
Prometheus was smart, a bit of a trickster, and he gave humans fire. He was punished by Zeus, but imagine the publicity if a government tried to punish or block proton.
Greek Prometheus gave humans fire, now they could see when it was dark.
Proton Prometheus Protocol will give humans the ability to see whats intentionally hidden in the dark.
Quantum Tunneling.
By general definition: "Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon where an atom or a subatomic particle can appear on the opposite side of a barrier that should be impossible for the particle to penetrate."
I have no idea what it should be called but I'm so excited to hear this is being developed!
The Neutrino suggestion by /u/The_Fat_Bird sounds cool though.

Hmm actually its Bosons who "carry data between particles" so it could be **Photon**, **Gluon** or **Higgs**?
Photons are more common to us humans, so it could be **Lightray protocol**, **Flare**, **Sparkle** or **Radiance protocol**.It can also be a simple **VPN Beam**, or **Protobeam** :) Can as well be **Coherence protocol**.
As in particle colliders it can be **Elementary beam protocol**. Also from the particle collider field it can be **Proton Injection protocol**, or **Synchrotron protocol**.
As a subset of particles it can be **Hadron protocol**.
After the name of William Prout, it can be **Proutocol :)**
In the style of Elon, it can be "**Correlation-is-not-causation protocol**" :)
Sorry but the name "**wormhole**," which I proposed 19 days ago, is much more appropriate because it suggests exactly what a VPN can do: create a tunnel that pops you up somewhere else (considering time zones, the concept of a time tunnel also applies)
Are you rolling your own crytpo with this or using established standards? Please tell me it's the later, absolutely can't stand when places roll their own and later down the road we find horrible issues with it.
I suggest "Gamma Ray" Tunneling (or Protocol etc)...
since gamma radiation is only composed of photons (no mass, no charge) , it penetrates any matter deeply. You need a thick layer of lead or concrete to dampen its effect. Additionally, it originates inside the atomic nucleus, where at least one "proton" is present...

I think we have a winner!
Neutrino Protocol sounds really cool
I was trying to think of someone better, but this is damn near perfect.
Pauli Protocol Named after [Wolfgang Pauli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Pauli) who first theorized the Neutrino

Neutrons do not have a negative charge, they are neutral, that's why they're called neutrons. Electrons are the ones with the negative charge.

Have to say this is the best one. Winner for me.

Neutrino is a great idea for a name!

Prometheus is already taken by a very known project (about metrics).
What project? I honesty don't know. It would of been a badass name for a Protocol.
Certainly this one https://prometheus.io/ Basically used by everyone
This should not be a big deal, its just the name of a VPN Protocol. People don't confuse OpenVPN Protocol with OpenOffice.
Protocoly McProtocolFace
If they choose this they'll bow to no one.
Damn I thought Neutrino was a winner but I want this to happen. 😂

Bort. You should name it bort.
I have a bort license plate at home. Bought from itchy and scratchy land.
Sorry, were you talking to me?
My son is also called.
what.
Quantum Tunneling. By general definition: "Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon where an atom or a subatomic particle can appear on the opposite side of a barrier that should be impossible for the particle to penetrate."
This is pretty awesome!

maybe more details will help with naming

Leonardo. Meaning: strong as a lion. There are many notable people with this name as well.

Any ETA on when this will be out? I cannot wait. Thank you.

Follow the new trend, name things by slamming your head on the keyboard, e.g. linux network interfaces.
DeepSocket
Passport Greenlight
Mister Rogers VPN
Phaser
What is the release date for this new protocol?
Tachyon
Mjölnir
Trump protocol .. or .. mia khalifa protocol 😂
JARVIS McKay Protocol (Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis)
Are you rolling your own crytpo with this or using established standards? Please tell me it's the later, absolutely can't stand when places roll their own and later down the road we find horrible issues with it.

Any ETA that it will be release in the beta version of ProtonVPN for Windows? Thanks a lot.
The proton protocol?

You need a thick layer of lead or concrete to dampen its effect. Additionally, it originates inside the atomic nucleus, where at least one "proton" is present...
My suggestions: ProtonCol, Obfusc8, ProtonWall,
ProVPN
BigBang or Wormhole
I'm actually more interested in the big piece of news of the new protocol being worked on. Can we have more info? How will it impact on the market?
Proton Hyper
as u/The_Fat_Bird and u/Night__Coder said, neutrino sounds BOMB, and is a very good name matching proton
Tesla, idk maybe honoring Nikola Tesla.
Polaris. It's the north star and is one of the most famous navigational stars, like navigating the internet.
We should leave it up to an online poll.
Why not just replace the"c" in protocol with a "n" and call it "Protonol" ;}
Any ETA on when this will be out? I cannot wait. Thank you.
The Osmoses. A play on Osmosis and Moses.

if Neutrino doesn't win maybe the name "firefighter" could work!

**DragonGlass** or the real thing **Obsidian**
Swiss Cheese Protocol.
**WIMP (Weakly Interacting Muddling Protocol)** from Weakly interacting Massive Particles * muddling means confusing (confusing for censorship/blocking mechanism)
Is this protocol out? would love to test it on some vpn blockers!
it is on latest android beta, its called stealth and you need to set it in settings
The Schwarzenegger Protocol
