      I’m aware of that case. Since then, they haven’t claimed to have totally private email, but they were able to do that partly because of how email works, and back then, they only did it because they were bound by law. Their VPN works differently, due to storing any log data only in memory and only temporarily (i.e. nothing is written to disk). That’s not what I’m referring to.

      When I say I’m concerned, I’m referring to actions like changing that no-log policy on their VPN without telling anyone.

        You are pretty naive about their ability and willingness to tell anyone especially after all the bad press they got for the case above. They don’t have a warrant canary and their excuse why not only applies to Swiss citizens.

          What is their excuse? I haven’t heard it.

          And you’re entitled to your opinion and to be more suspicious. I’m not really interested in making cynical guesses upon the mere possibility that I might be right someday.

          I’m not a customer of theirs, so I don’t have much care what he says except for what it means for people who use Proton and for privacy in general.
