Mostly out of curiosity, but also somewhat related to Proton’s recent political involvement, I’m curious about alternatives to using their services, open to suggestions for:

  • Proton Mail: anything that can support custom domain, email aliases, and email scheduling?
  • Proton Drive: not the most important, but interested in privacy first, encrypted hosting services
  • Proton Pass: anything I should take a look at besides Bitwarden and Keepass?
  • Proton VPN: that one’s the hardest, it was really good, I think Mullvlad is the one most often recommended?
  • Proton Calendar: didn’t really care about that one, but it was nice that it connected to Mail

My Unlimited plan renewed in December so I’ll probably keep it for a year, it was nice having only one subsctiption to keep in mind, but I’m thinking of exploring other options

    I agree with many recommendations

    but as someone who has tried many VPN providers I can say Windscribe is really bad (for servers in the EU at least).
    Slow, few servers, unreliable, and blocked on many websites

    surprisingly I see it recommended all the time

      An assessment of windscribes European performance is helpful because I had no idea.

      I’m in Canada (windscribe is Canadian), and find windscribe to be pretty good. So maybe it depends on location.
