I've used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).

But I've increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to "shop around"

Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad... except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.

So are there any other good options?

Thanks

the post is the evidence.

No, the post is a conspiracy theory that gives no evidence to support the claim. You can't use an allegation as evidence to support your allegation, that's circular logic.

it's not circular logic. if you don't know, you can just not say things.

That's very good advice. The article you links specifically says "Allegedly" in the title. Let me save you the hassle of getting a dictionary and explain to you the definition of "allegedly":

used when something is said to be true but has not been proved [source]

The article not only does not provide proof, but it admits that it does not provide it. You, however, continue to insist it does because you want it to be true.

I'm not willing to risk that it might be true

Unless you’re an Israel citizen then why does it matter? Chances are you passed data through an Israel server at some point in time whether it be directly or not.
