These are my thoughts on the matter:
I applaud the employees that pushed back and have spoken out. You guys/gals Rock!! Thank you so dang much!!!
To Andy Yen, you obviously have no flipping clue who your actual customers are. Your views are incompatible with what I thought Proton was. I don't care how inconsequential of a decision you thought it was. That attitude over anything, especially security!?, is the exact opposite of what I thought Proton was when I signed up in 2020. I especially did not expect something like this when I became a buisness level subscriber in 2022. For me to continue using the services of Proton, you need to resign from Proton in any and all capacity.
Furthermore to Proton as an entity. Any and all who shared in this kind of mentality and disregard needs to be scrutinized and removed if necessary. Don't be crazy about it, but you know who NEEDS to go I think.
Look, we all are seeing that AI is here to stay. And it has gotten incredible at coding if I am to believe what I have read. The world is abruptly changing, but that is why now more that ever we need you to move as securely as you possibly can. Yes that still means using every tool at your disposal, but with the utmost concern and scrutiny supporting security and privacy. Even the crazy conspiracy/science fiction would never happen stuff, we're counting on you guys not being susceptible to it. We want privacy and security, not features and shinn-shi-curity.
If that is not the company Proton is striving to be, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I expect many others will be doing so as well. Imagine the fash.crud on top of all this. Don't know why I was sticking around truthfully.
Well said.
My family plan renewal is coming up. I’m going to switch to monthly to get the migration to my own domain.
I have the $300 yearly subscription because I bought into security and a true zero trust platform.
I tried to let Andy’s remarks from the past slide. But the perception of security isn’t security.
If they oust Andy and bring back a true security and quality focus, I legitimately would stay and pay. They can keep the “perception” of my subscription without the money.
Please help me make this actionable for moving away from Proton.
5 users. Email - getting my own domain. Tuta mail for hosting?
I like the email alias functionality, but I could live without it.
VPN replacement is needed. I used ExpressVPN before.
Password management integration and sync maybe to Home Assistant? LastPass is out from their prior debacles. 1Password was good but expensive.
Then there’s cloud storage. I use it for my off premise copy of data. What do you recommend? Some s3 storage and sync thing wouldn’t be too hard, but I’d prefer a different cloud solution.
Vaultwarden, Ente, NextCloud, MullVad
Ente is very cool! New to me thank you! Appreciate the suggestions.
KeePass + Syncthing
Thank you for the recommendation!
