If you’re not using Proton, what are you even doing?

Following the ascension of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to the Oval Office for a second unexplainable time, actively backed up by America’s finest techno-oligarchs, I immediately started reconsidering my 🇪🇺European use of Google, Microsoft and Apple services for my personal digital infrastructure.

That reevaluation led to 🇨🇭 Switzerland.
⛰️In the Alps, beneath literal mountains and behind legal walls of neutrality, exists Proton—a suite of security-oriented digital services run by a scientist and engineer-led foundation that actually cares about freedom, democracy, civil liberties and the user’s digital sovereignty.

This organization immediately made a significantly better impression than any other competitor, not only offering a European alternative but a technologically and functionally superior alternative. It resulted in an annually paid subscription to the ”Proton Unlimited” package, granting me full access to the full suite of services, as follows.

📧Proton Mail provides end-to-end encryption of mail communications, an intuitive mail client (both web and downloadable) with great features such as folders, filters and labels, up to 15 different addresses for the same personal mailbox, and seamless integration with the alias feature of Proton Pass, which will be listed later. If you don’t have your own domain to integrate with the service, you can still use the unique suffix ”@pm.me”, instantly making your personal address stand out.

🔒Proton Cloud is a direct equivalent of Google Drive for private use, although with even more features. letting you host files, picture albums and establish active backup of specific folders of your choice on your computer. The user interface remains state of the art.

🌐Proton VPN is one of their first features and remains a steady and reliable tool. I generally don’t use VPN in my day-to-day internet usage, but when I do it has made a very positive impression. It offers fast connections to most countries on the planet and has the same levels of security and privacy as the other services.

🔑Proton Pass is the hidden gem of the suite. It knocks all other password management, alias creators and 2FA apps out of the water. I have incorporated my entire identity management into Proton Pass, generating state-of-the-art secure passwords for all of my accounts, getting rid of convoluted 2FA apps in favor of directly integrating the 2FA key into Proton Pass, and using the app to fill in my information anywhere I go. It also offers creation of an almost infinite amount of e-mail aliases, which forward traffic to your main Proton mailbox.

🗽On top of the high quality of services, Proton takes the fight directly to oppressed people worldwide by hiding dissenting communication from totalitarian dictators and authoritarian regimes. Proton is for this reason banned in dictatorships like Russia, Belarus, Egypt and China.

To finish,
Proton lets you achieve total digital sovereignty as an individual, encrypting your data into a secure vault that not even the government can access. A switch to Proton means a total overhaul of your personal digital security and probably puts you in the top 1% of internet users with best personal security. Even without the current geopolitical situation, I would still use Proton any day of the week.
