"But take the paid version"....is kind of ironic, the OP was searching for free news the other day. LOL.I have an account with them for both: email and vpn.
Best offer on the market. But take the paid version. Free servers are always loaded +80% while paid ones are around 5-15% loaded.
Also use "secure mode". Never found this mode anywhere else.
Has nothing to do with criminality. What the NSA does is criminality; spying on and in my private life without any proof of me doing something wrong.
If you use internet VPN is the most important and first thing you need.
Emails between proton clients are incrypted from start till finish. Switzerland offers the best protection for privacy.
Download speed is between 30-100Mb/sec (wireless) depending on what configuration you are running. Without VPN I reach on average 200 Mb/sec.
