Looks like the user may have done more on their part…

> However, we understand this is concerning for individuals with certain threat models, which is why since 2017, we also provide an onion site for anonymous access (we are one of the only email providers that supports this).



Proton's first and last blog post about Tor was from 2017 [1]

As a paying customer, I expect better.

What do you expect exactly, that they shutdown non-tor access and force you to go through tor?


Thanks for asking. Your suggestion seems rather extreme, but I'm open to it if you make a good case. I'm curious to see more Tor-first service launch.

1. More blog posts about Tor, how Proton is supporting Tor 2. Updating their Onion link. Their original blog post still refers to a v2 address, which are being retired 3. Supporting Tor broadly for other uses 4. Support anonymous account creation through Tor. I get it, it's hard. Find a solution that doesn't require de-anonymizing users.
