I heard Tuta/Mullvad are quantum-resistant end-to-end encrypted and that Mullvad VPN is better at avoiding trigging captcha.
While Proton services are hosted in Switzerland which has the strongest privacy laws in the world and avoids the surveillance of NATO.
Well, all the quantum stuff is more marketing than anything else. I think it’s snake-oil. All the big VPN services use encyption that’s itself unbreakable.
And as far as I know NATO is a military alliance. Their main job is to do military operations, like navy maneuvers and assure no member country gets attacked. I don’t think they do much domestic surveillance of citizens, as they’re not an intelligence agency.
As far as I know all of those three services are reputable.
The quantum stuff refers to the theoretical possibility of quantum computers to crack asymetric ciphers like the RSA.
There are new, quantum safe algorithms coming right now, but it’s hot out of the owen so personally I’d wait a bit for the first bugfuxes and such.
surveillance of NATO
NATO as a surveillance group is definitely a boogeyman created by Russian and Chinese propaganda. NATO countries share some military information with each other, but it’s not an intelligence organization.
You’re probably thinking of the Five Eyes, for which there is actual credible documentation of domestic surveillance.
Proton’s CEO just crawled up Trump’s ass, so that’s worth factoring in to any decisions about using them.
Switzerland does not have the strongest data protection laws in the world. Don’t fall for the Proton marketing bs. Some NATO countries (Germany e.g.) have better laws.
