Spoiler alert: in 10 years a leak reveals that ProtonMail is one of the multiple "Swiss-based privacy-oriented" services operated by secret services.
- rvba 5y agoNordVPN is pushed so hard everywhere that it looks like a single point of failure - I assume every secret service wants to hack it, if they didnt already.
- masklinn 5y agoIt's ok, because now ExpressVPN is putting out ads everywhere instead!
- ipaddr 5y agoI would have expected some sort of crackdown on popular VPNs used by US citizens if they were as private as they seemed or at least some polical action funded by right holders. We don't see this at all. That tells me these services are compromised on some level. A little while ago I noticed plenty of different VPN providers. Many of the smaller ones were bought and private labelled or had smear campaigns against them. Companies compete so some of that is understood.. but the extent of the attacks tells me players with powerful networks (governmental,business or rogue) shut down many legitimate smaller VPNs whike help promote others. I would be wary of using any VPN if I expected privacy. Rolling your own is easy enough but be careful where you setup shop.
- dev_snd 5y agoPlease don't spread FUD. Do you have any sources for your accusations? I believe that there are still honorable companies out there (and I don't even use ProtonMail in particular)
