Proton VPN Review

"...rs. I'm not super into crypto, but I believe Monero is a privacy focused crypto. I would recommend Proton VPN if you can make use of their other services, and AirVPN is quite nice too. Mullvad is probably the best though, just not the che..."

"Nearly all VPN providers sell your data including most paid ones. There's a reason why PIA, Nord VPN and others can sponsor half the internet's creators. This video does a great job at unpacking this and brings evidence the claims made: [..."

"@tnpla1 @R3SP0NZ3 @TheBritishIntel @NordVPN You can pay for Mulvad & Proton %100 anonymously with cash sent in an envelope. It's the perfect work around & fuck you to the government."

"@mattfle02898557 @A1an_M ProtonVPN, MullVad or SurfShark + Fake email address (via protonmail etc) VPS with own VPN is still valid, but extreme and unnecessary for most users - until of course VPN's themselves come under REAL scrutiny, but even China has problems controlling offshort VPNs"

"@KneeHonAlt @badidol @LEGENDARYMSR69 @obscuravpn Yes and if you sign up with Proton VPN directly, a Mail account isn’t even activated unless you go to the Mail site and log in separately. I tested this the other day. Proton VPN accepts throwaway emails too so when creating your login you can use a tempmail service over Tor."

"... express vpn, but I probably should. Honestly, all email is sketchy af and you should just use PGP keys for sensitive messages across email. Mullvad, Proton VPN, and AirVPN all accept Monero which hasn't been tracked before. Mullvad even takes cash mailed for max privacy, but just note Mullvad is 5 bucks a month no matter what, and Proton and Air can be cheaper VPNs if you buy 2 years at a time du..."

"@ChibiReviews You can still send cash in an envelope to mullvad and Proton. Tor and i2p still exist. This will have no impact but it is a mask-off moment for the UK gov."

"@Rubicon_John The problem with your payment method is it is tracked. Now it's not that big of a deal. I mean I use proton because of the deal for everything. I really liked ivpn. You can pay with crypto. You just generate a random account. And that's it. No password just a random ID"

"I have always used a VPN for browsing for the last fifteen years. I have been a paying customer of Perfect Privacy, Proton VPN, Nord VPN. I have always said that everyone should use a good VPN -- it is basic digital hygiene. I am also a huge critic of the UK government's assault on digital privacy and free speech. But that said, I don't think this proposal -- requiring VPN companies to perform a..."

"Yea proton needs to introduce cash payments and 16 digit accounts if they want full privacy. At least that. That being said, there's this: https://protonvpn.com/blog/no-logs-audit"

"You can mail cash to proton, it's one of their payment options as well. see https://proton.me/support/payment-options#cash"

"ExpressVPN vs Mullvad: Which One’s Actually Better in 2026? I spent some time this month testing ExpressVPN and Mullvad because I wanted to move away from relying on free VPNs all the time. I had been switching between Proton and Windscr..."

"@Linkerman300 @x_is_pretty_dum @uwukko Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding and afaik you can send cash to proton anonymously so what makes mullvad better"

"@ProtonPrivacy Question: when our 'government' brings in digital ID for VPN access, will proton be asking for ID retroactivly from current users?"

"@Vani_Plapaba There will likely be a future where providers like proton require you to go through extra hoops so they dont have to take an ID from you Probably provide a temporary free vpn so you can pay if you are in a legally affected location"

"we are in this timeline where windscribe trying to get users from protonvpn who is trying to users from mullvad who is asking you send cash in envelope for VPN https://t.co/PyKwjQvw0Q"

"@SIGNAL_RETURN @MittensAnon @ProtonMail The only possible difference between the security or privacy you can get from Mullvad over Proton is that you can send cash in an anonymous envelope to Mullvad. Other than that, there is zero difference."

"@KaspaHub @brave @Proton_Pass @ProtonDrive @ProtonVPN @StandardNotes @weawowcom @unstoppablebyhs I use nexcloud for self hosting cloud. Mullvad for best privacy vpn. Mullvad accepts crypto as well i have not convinced them to accept kaspa yet."

"@windscribecom @ProtonVPN @mullvadnet Proton does know you are a subscriber though. Mullvad takes this up a notch. Even if you pay with a card they delete this information after their refund period and then have no way to even know you are a subscriber. You can pay them in crypto as well."

"Interestingly, PrivacyTools still recommends NordVPN as its top pick on its VPN page (as of January 2026), alongside Surfshark, ProtonVPN, and Mullvad. However, the site now operates more like a commercial/affiliate driven platform, with prominent affiliate links and promotions. For beginners just starting their privacy journey, this can be confusing or even counterproductive - recommending heavil..."

"@sioninfintev @windscribecom @Cartidise This is bad practice still. Plus there is no anonymity when signing up for proton compared to someone like Mullvad or better obscura. VPN is just choosing who has that info, it would be great if the person who doesn’t have KYC. Which proton does."

"@whyte2025 @windscribecom @pcWRT @ProtonVPN Proton mail (and I believe drive) has complied to many law enforcement orders, however not with the vpn.. yet.. with proton you can not make an anonymous account under the tor which is a very big red flag."
