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 ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘‡

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.

Mullvad is supposed to be a safe and secure VPN.

Unfortunately not a mail or storage provider.

If this wasn't enough of a wakeupcall to not put all the eggs in one basket then what is? Companies are literally doing this to lock you into their service so it's harder to switch since you then have to find X new services instead of just one.

Better go with one that'd specialized for each service you need...

Btw, unrelated to the twitter debacle, Proton's cloud app on Android, sucks ass. Can't even download an entire folder, downloading more than 25 files get glitchy and not all files get downloaded. Every other cloud provider could do that.

Posteo, Mailbox.org, and Tuta are all good alternatives.
