Golden Frog VyprVPN vs. Proton Mail

This is a VPN for a technical user. It's not the easiest VPN to use and, while very secure, the quirks and issues it has will frustrate your standard users. It's a great backup and secondary VPN option for me as a technical user, but I think for the average user I would recommend something a bit more friendly. For all you IT folks out there or more tech-savvy people, I would definitely recommend checking it out though!

Good if you like privacy and not having your data mined for advertizing and AI training.

• The speed you get is actually really good. I have connected it to multiple locations and very rarely had issues with slow speed.
• There are multiple servers across different locations. So you always have a lot of choices.
• Simple to use. The UI is really clean and easy to navigate. Works almost with a single click.
• You also get access to the mobile version which works really nicely as well.
• Good support. They were really helpful and responded quickly when I contacted them.

• Exporting email (which I like to do for archiving) is awkward and slow.
• Proton Mail Bridge (which allows access from other email readers like Outlook) sometimes has synchronization issues. Lately these just resolve themselves.

Mostly intuitive and easy to use. A bit harder if you stick with two passwords (one for the account and one for the encryption).

I tried a few alternatives (Cyberghost, Private Internet access etc) before settling on this. Of all the different options I looked into this one performed most reliably for me. It was also the fastest of the different options I tested. It was also backed up by good reviews online and solid support team. It is a little pricier than some competitors but I feel I get good value out of it.

Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much.

• A single leak of data or hack easily makes this worth it.
• Its low cost makes ROI and justifiability easy.
