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.

    Finding a provider that has all of Proton’s apps is going to be toug

    Nobody should be using any provider as one stop shop… That’s how we got cooked by Google and Apple the first time folks.

    Unbundle, mix and match…

    Yeah it auck Proton did this but if you only got one proton service, it is eaiser to either do nothing or switch it.

      I agree! I don’t use Proton’s VPN or their password manager for that reason. The equivalents I had in place already were fine and I didn’t feel the need to switch over everything, just some things.

        I feel like I should pre-emptively switch to Keepass incase Bitwarden goes right wing.

        I mean, Keepass is free open source software so the political views of the developers don’t matter as much.
