Hello everyone,
I am very new and recently have decided to move away our growing home/work network away from Google and also increase our digital security. I got recommended to try Proton as it is (as I understand) a full suite of feature we would use (be it mail, productivity apps, vpn, authenticator, cloud) but seeing some of the reactions here, I am concerned.
Are there any really grave concerns about Proton or any substantial flaws I should be aware of as a new user? I also got some mixed reviews about unstable gaming sessions (that would be a home disaster for the kids hehe) as it disconnects but I suppose that is a problem of the free limited VPN connecting to free servers.
Thank you in advance for any input.
EDIT: Thank you again very much to all of you for your time and insight <3 I will investigate all the suggestions/experience and slowly work my way to a better workframe. Again - thank you!
Register your own domain and get that going as your email. Then you can try all the suggestions in this thread nearly risk free.
Proton hooked me with mail, vpn, password management, and drive. That was what I needed to replace Gmail and one drive at the time.
They’ve ignored the Linux development the community consistently asked for and introduced Lumo the useless chatbot instead.
They still check a lot of the boxes if you want something privacy respecting and easy. The ceo chose to run his mouth in a detrimental way, and walked it back slightly after backlash… so there’s that.
