Hello everyone,

I am very new and recently have decided to move away our growing home/work network away from Google and also increase our digital security. I got recommended to try Proton as it is (as I understand) a full suite of feature we would use (be it mail, productivity apps, vpn, authenticator, cloud) but seeing some of the reactions here, I am concerned.

Are there any really grave concerns about Proton or any substantial flaws I should be aware of as a new user? I also got some mixed reviews about unstable gaming sessions (that would be a home disaster for the kids hehe) as it disconnects but I suppose that is a problem of the free limited VPN connecting to free servers.

Thank you in advance for any input.

EDIT: Thank you again very much to all of you for your time and insight <3 I will investigate all the suggestions/experience and slowly work my way to a better workframe. Again - thank you!

      Fastmails app is bad and masked emails have a limit, though. Which is 2 reasons I’m considering going from fastmail to proton.

        Neither of these points make any sense to someone who actually uses Fastmail, but ok

        Their app is terrific and I have tons and tons of makes emails. What?

          I actually use fastmail.

          Their app is literally just a website in an app wrapped which is horrendous.

          And they have a limit of masked emails, regardless of how many you have.
