In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇
Always try to provide:
-Server location (jurisdiction)
-Governance
-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency
-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)
-Pricing and links
If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

Edit:typo
It isn’t about politics so much as endorsing a party that is openly hostile towards Proton customers. LGBT, immigrants, journalists, progressives, etc for example who paid for Proton explicitly for privacy protection against any upcoming persecution by the group he is praising.
With this endorsement there is the concern not only will they not protect these customers but will loudly align themselves against them and cause harm. It questions their ethics and business decisions as well to make such a major public relations mistake. Will they create a secret backdoor or anything else with their endorsement?
