Have people noticed how much popretary java code ProtonMail requires when using a web browser for email?
Also, why the required login on their free VPN service if they are all about privacy and encryption? Why do they want someone’s network traffic in order to use their free VPN?
Over the past 6 months my suspicion grows bigger and bigger of who is behind Proton, the agenda behind starting the service, and how it caught on? Why don’t free encrypted anti-government services catch on?
Until ProtonVPN removes login requirement and release VPN server code under open source license like RiseupVPN or CalyxVPN which are anonymous VPN’s, no account, I will choose to treat Proton like a spy agency.

I get ya, and thank you for thoroughly articulating, I enjoy the discussion. And that’s all I was looking for, a discussion, and not kick off a grand conspiracy.
Fair enough; I admittedly mischaracterized you and perhaps responded with a bit too “harsh” of a tone initially. I apologize.
I took what you said as honest discourse and dialogue. Maybe the slightest tone of being harsh, but I took what you said as nothing more than an knowledgable rebuttal, not criticism. Seriously, all is well, and I’m completely open to every point you rebutted me on. I sensed no mockery or hostility from you, only solid counter points.
Both of you rock. I love Lemmy. :)
