I'll continue to shill for the company's services unless anything becomes evident. Nobody has offered anything that ProtonMail / ProtonVPN wasn't able to explain adequately.
Nobody else I'm aware of offers their own data center infrastructure, which is extremely important as it's a key single point of failure in all other VPNs and email service. There is no better option for most people.
Obviously if you're going to use ProtonMail, it's always technically better to encrypt your emails with PGP or the like on top of it, but I still stand by my firm recommendation of their services.
I'd like to imagine ProtonMail is in the same set as Lavabit. I think many services portray themselves as if they're in said set, but I think its cardinality is very, very small.
- karmenblack 8y agoThey support PGP now.
- dredmorbius 8y agoProtonmail now support PGP encryption. (Also noted by a dead comment.)
- Boulth 8y agoTo be honest they always supported PGP encryption (they are the biggest contributor and lead Openpgpjs development). Since July it's possible to also send encrypted messages to external contacts. ProtonMail is actually very committed to OpenPGP as a standard (it's evident by their engagement on the OpenPGP Mailing List).
- dredmorbius 8y agoProtonmail hadn't supported arbitrary sender or recipient keys. They've just issued a big update announcement that they're doing precisely that.
- Boulth 8y agoIt works since July see this blog post: https://protonmail.com/blog/address-verification-pgp-support/ https://protonmail.com/blog/address-verification-pgp-support... I don't know why they announced it now but I've been using it previously.
