Given all that is going on with VPNs, your caution is warranted, but one should also critically examine the claims that are being made.
Proton definitely has an office and subsidiary in Vilnius, it's not a secret because it's on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMz62oHb6K/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMz62oHb6K/ The office is inside a 30 storey building, so it is not surprising the address is shared with quite a few other companies. That doesn't mean Proton as a whole is headquartered there, or that the subsidiary somehow controls the parent company in Switzerland, or that there is somehow data mining going on.
Those are the claims that have been clearly debunked. The fact that Proton has a subsidiary in Vilnius, or the fact that we outsourced our HR back in 2016, are not secrets, and is on our Instagram and the Reddit thread linked above. This is the truth, and this is not some wild EU-funded data mining conspiracy as some would have you believe.
