      Not more than the Swiss. Germany is part of the spy dragnet. It does not offer the same level of privacy protection.

        Five and eleven eyes doesn’t matter if the service is encrypted and open sourced. Also, did you know that Switzerland has no superior privacy laws comparing to Germany? It’s all marketing bluff.

            A single IP address, which would mean nothing with VPN use. Germany is literally part of the spying eyes. That is the difference here. Proton giving out one address vs the surveillance network of a NATO state?.. Lol

      So why are my German relatives super-scared of pirating because of the government finding out, and get me to torrent all their shit for them and mail it to them on cheap hardrives?
