I understand what he does is only his preference but why does he not recommend using Mullvad anywhere in his books or podcasts and completely shills “Proton” for everything as if it’s the best source for everything privacy related.

In his book “Extreme Privacy” he also talks about using Cloudflare due to their no-logging policy for your DNS resolver.

“We will collect limited DNS query data that is sent to our 1.1.1.1 resolver. Our 1.1.1.1 resolver service does not log personal information, and the bulk of the limited non-personally identifiable query data is only stored for 25 hours.”

I just feel like something isn’t adding up, somewhere.

I would recommend to find advice that works for you from a variety of different sources. Never really on just one person as a source of truth. I'm not familiar with this person and they probably have a lot of good advice but nobody is perfect and everyone is different so you are sure to find things you disagree with. The good thing is you have the right mindset to actually dig a bit deeper and understand things for yourself, like the CloudFlare "no logs" policy.
