Proton VPN/mail. It’s often recommended as being safe, but I’m not so sure.
It has servers in Israel. Ties to Israel are never a good thing. Palantir, Epstein, etc are tied to Israel, and Israel also is known for its surveillance. It is also true that it’s completely legal there for them to access and monitor any and all information that passes through VPNs or networks there.
I’m looking for a safe alternative that’s privacy-conscious and isn’t linked to Israel. Both mail and vpn (it’s fine if they’re separate). Please let me know if you guys know.
In that case just using any email service that doesn’t do ad tracking is probably fine. Make sure to keep your email deleted up and save anything you need to know or might need later on down the line.
Try to pick a service that’s a big name, lots of recipients servers and clients will enforce very strict uhh dkim or whatever and that means small timers get bounced.
