      Swiss law doesnt allow complying with VPN services afaik.

      ProtonVPN and ProtonMail are completely seperate too.

        Do you mean the law doesn’t allow forcing the VPN service to comply with VPN log requests by authorities?

        And what do you mean by “completely separate”?

        Proton VPN… is operated by the Swiss company Proton AG, the company behind the email service Proton Mail.

          @sqgl @ReakDuck
          From what I understood :
          Under Swiss laws, VPN providers are not forced to log anything.
          They also can’t comply with orders coming from a foreign country if not approved by Swiss authorities.
          If someone is put under surveillance, he/she have to know that.

          However, always remind that that’s just the law, not what is technically possible. If you’re considered as a real threat for an important country, neither Switzerland or any country will protect you.
