Why is protonmail vaunted as this big privacy solution? Last i checked;

-you couldnt signup for an account via vpn, they want to log your real IP.

-cant use your own client for TLS/SMTP

Agree gmail sucks and is the worst.

I sign up and login with a vpn no issue?

You can use your own client with proton bridge

A story in pics:

Today its the email address, and only the right email address (just like IP addresses before that) - perhaps they change from month to month but end result is same

Last I checked they required email verification only for creating new "@protonmail dot com" accounts, not for "proton dot me"
