Sorry didnt explain the mullvad vpn vs proton vpn is the payment method. Mullvad you dont create an account and can pay with btc or monero so not traceability. But will agree on your point its hard to find a truly private email client and proton does help in that aspect. Also on the email side I do agree email would be diffrent but think there has to be some company that will burn everything and be a sacrifice to stand by there privacy. promise.
Discussion
Perhaps a bit beyond my pay grade, but doesn’t a VPN provider know your actual IP address, and other relevant data? Such that even if you pay with Bitcoin and they keep no logs, they could still point law enforcement in the right direction, if prompted?
as i quoted above:
"Under current Swiss law, email and VPN are treated differently, and Proton VPN cannot be compelled to log user data."
