Andy Yen’s values are incompatible with Proton’s mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.
Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.
If you’re able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can’t let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.


Where to from here?
Tuta and IVPN?
Go to Tuta if you do not want to selfhost. But take your own email domain. If tuta also turns to shit, you still control your addresses and the next migration will be easy as hell.
A Domain can cost as low as 1€ per Month and the Tuta + Own Domain Setup is easy and set-and-forget.
Selfhost
Selfhost email and vpn?
