At least personally to me it goes to show that it’s not out of the question

Personally I don’t trust Proton. I know I’m paranoid, but can’t be too sure about anything these days. To my knowledge MV and IVPN are the only ones with a nice privacy reputation. Shame they are cutting port forwarding

No public audits - I don’t trust. Italy is also not exactly a privacy (and personal rights) haven.
