I’ve been using Express and had a great experience so far, but I may want to try a Proton subscription for cloud space and more emails. It also comes with a VPN service but I’m a little leary on trying something new. Any thoughts on Proton VPN?

Don't use shady vpn's like express, nord vpn. etc. they're all shit. At the moment I can only reccomend: Mullvad, Proton and IVPN. I would like to disclose that I am a proton subscriber but also a privacy nut that has done a lot of research about this.

Curious: what makes Nord shady? Their model seemed similar to Proton when I was researching the two. What’d I miss?

The biggest thing that did it for me was who runs Nord? Not business entities but the people.

Protons leadership is out in the open with their names (fwiw their CEO is even on the Higgs paper, lol), but Nord has a very intransparent structure.
