OP suggests the ease of use for just using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN all bundled together.
Maybe don’t do that. Maybe use Proton VPN, but find a seperate and/or more secure email provider.
Tuta, Mailfence, StartMail are all comparably secure compared to ProtonMail.
Posteo is possibly more secure/safe from a legal subpoena in that they claim to not log IPs, and they claim they anonymize your account from your payment method… though I have not researched it enough to personally say yes they do this and it actually works to prevent the legal info request situation.
EDIT: Also, just to throw this in, another weird thing about IVPN is that they are actually legally based in Gibraltar, which puts it in a fairly weird legal situation where it does not appear to be totally clear how a legal request for data from them would actually be processed.
Yeah.
