Not your servers, not your country, not your data.
Proton is based in Switzerland, a socialist country, which hosts and is friendly to all the ultra evil institutions. (The UN, WEF, WHO, etc.) Using their services makes it legally easier for 3 letters to grab your data, plus they hand over people's data all the time. Proton is not as secure as everyone thinks.
I'll keep my private data services in the USA, self-hostrd by me, thank you.
> A socialist country
This made me lol.
Do you not believe their encryption is legit? What data would they be handing over if it's all encrypted at rest?
If you need an email to register a proton email, they say it is only for spam protection and not stored. Then how do they know when an email is already used? It could be tested against a Merkel tree but how do we know if they implemented it that way or are just lying?
So you host your own email server?
At the very least, keep your email provider in your own country.
Those doing the surveillance want an identity touch point, and if you host your email service then it can be gotten from your domain registration (even if it is hidden, there is a fiat transaction to buy it).
A workaround is to buy a domain with bitcoin from njal.la .
Many do but email is doomed anyway as the other end of every communication is usually gmail.
