As much as I like using Proton Mail and VPN, their current offerings have grown exponentially in size.
I would highly recommend anyone here to not put all their eggs in one basket. Proton can and has in the past disabled user accounts for no reason. This means that you will lose access to everything you use with them.
Only use Mail or VPN and use other services for other needs.
- Mail -> Tutanota
- Calendar -> Tutanota
- Drive -> Just make a NAS. I don’t trust any provider with file storage.
- VPN -> Mullvad
- Pass -> Bitwarden or Keepass
- Wallet -> Don’t buy crypto
- Docs ->
OpenOfficeLibreOffice - Sheets ->
OpenOfficeLibreOffice - Authenticator -> Aegis or Ente Auth
- Meet -> This is fine.
- AI -> Run something locally


So you’re frequently dealing with problems that require searching for information and they’re important enough that you need to do it quickly, yet they’re not important enough to warrant attention and you’d rather risk having a slop machine that gets 4 out of 6 answers wrong in hard to notice ways.
Sounds… Important, I guess.
