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.

PrivacyTools has the better more updated content, are you against PT making money ? It's way better than PG stealing funds from PT

Not a good reason, techlore fanboy The website is pretty decent & clean & they have a better licencing

You drank the TechLore kool-aid Mistef

The website is pretty decent & clean

what the fuck? Google has a clean website, doesn't mean I should be using it. The usefulness of the information is what matters, and privacytools ranking ads as "best picks" sure as hell isn't informative

better licencing

same as above. Doesn't matter if they have a better license when everything else is a scam
