The people who leaked information on a Journalist using their services? (I believe that was specifically ProtonMail)
No. Never. Not even once.
Proton vpn is good and secure as well it comes with - Kill switch , No-Log Policy , Anonymous Signup , Quick Load Times (speeds are limited but stable ), IP and dns leak protection even in free versions .

not that fast speed tho... expressvpn is kind of faster, but for security, neither one is good, the only way to be secure is pulling out your own vpn...

I wouldn't trust anything that went through Google. How it probably should most likely read is, "Google. Brought to you by the CIA."

You're right that ExpressVPN is generally faster, especially for streaming or high-bandwidth activities. However, for many users, ProtonVPN's balance of security features and privacy policies makes it a strong choice, particularly if you're focused on privacy. As for setting up your own VPN, it can be a great option for those who have the technical know-how and want maximum control, but for most people, a reputable service like ProtonVPN or ExpressVPN offers more convenience and still robust security.
I use their email service for disposable mail. Except that, i would never trust them with anything.
good idea. proton actualy not bad
