Mostly out of curiosity, but also somewhat related to Proton's recent political involvement, I'm curious about alternatives to using their services, open to suggestions for:

  • Proton Mail: anything that can support custom domain, email aliases, and email scheduling?
  • Proton Drive: not the most important, but interested in privacy first, encrypted hosting services
  • Proton Pass: anything I should take a look at besides Bitwarden and Keepass?
  • Proton VPN: that one's the hardest, it was really good, I think Mullvlad is the one most often recommended?
  • Proton Calendar: didn't really care about that one, but it was nice that it connected to Mail

My Unlimited plan renewed in December so I'll probably keep it for a year, it was nice having only one subsctiption to keep in mind, but I'm thinking of exploring other options

He made one tweet

Then the company issues a statement

No more tweets or support

I mean, come on .. it's blown way out of water

I agree.

They stumbled into a political mess, it was naive and foolish but it doesn't mean the whole of proton should be written off.

I'm not looking for an alternative. Although it is also good that people have other options to share and the freedom to move providers should they wish. I will still recommend Proton to people.

I’m probably gonna get yelled at for this, but for my use case it works, since I’m not actually trying to hide from the law, just avoiding being tracked by marketing companies… Icloud+ offers encrypted cloud storage, a proxy IP relay, and more importantly an email service that gives you unlimited aliases.

Lots of Mullvan ppl in here, I thought Private Internet Access was supposed to be the king? What happened?

I don't use any VPN, FWIW.
