I think Proton are decent, but they aren’t great. Proton recently were legally forced to give up user information to the FBI by Swiss-US agreements after identifying a protestor’s email address. The VPN’s a slightly different ballgame, but the risk I’d say is meaningfully higher still.
Mullvad’s cash and Crypto acceptance, as well as its determination to hold onto no information, makes it significantly better. Whereas Proton will and have to give up whatever they’ve got. Depends on your sensitivity to risk.
