Have people noticed how much popretary java code ProtonMail requires when using a web browser for email?
Also, why the required login on their free VPN service if they are all about privacy and encryption? Why do they want someone’s network traffic in order to use their free VPN?
Over the past 6 months my suspicion grows bigger and bigger of who is behind Proton, the agenda behind starting the service, and how it caught on? Why don’t free encrypted anti-government services catch on?
Until ProtonVPN removes login requirement and release VPN server code under open source license like RiseupVPN or CalyxVPN which are anonymous VPN’s, no account, I will choose to treat Proton like a spy agency.
I mean it’s not like a VPN is providing major anonymity. We already know all the major providers are tapped. You should treat any VPN like a spy agency.
If you need anonymity, a free VPN is probably not the best place to look.
Also they could correlate your network traffic without you logging in. That is not a requirement. No matter what, any VPN is going to give some kind of unique user identifier.
