Well, just that. Wich is stronger against trackers, hackers and doxxing threats? Proton VPN (I’m using this one actually), or Mullvad VPN?

    That’s because no one running a service will go to jail for you. None.

    Not ProtonVPN, not Mullvad, not IVPN, not Lemmy Instances.

    Imagine you run one of these, and you received a lawful order in your jurisdiction.

    Turn over data or go to jail for a long time.

    Would you go to jail to protect user privacy?

    The only thing Proton does better is because they are under Swiss Jurisdiction, which has stricter control over when a court order can be issued. But if a court order goes to Proton, they can’t ignore it.

    Also: Protonmail =/= ProtonVPN, they are under different laws. In Switzerland, Mail providers have to provide IP addresses upon a subpoena, VPN providers do not. If those users had used ProtonVPN to access their Protonmail, they’d be safe.
