    Proton works well, I’m not sure why it took them a couple of weeks to move from google to Proton, I think it took me an hour to setup mail, calendar and Drive on Proton’s free tier.

    LOL, just when I signed for 3 years of mxroute. No, thanks. BTW, Proton may be nice but

    1. Crazy expensive

    2. Overkill for my use case.

      Tuta mail is a good alternative based in Germany.

        Still overkill, quite more expensive for more than one account/domain and doesn’t support IMAP. I mean, it’s a great product, but just not for my use case.

    “Avoid US based software and services”

    TLDR; you can’t. At least not if you’re running any kind of business.

    I did a quick audit at work a few weeks ago. Over 90% of our stack is US based. Windows, office, 365, vmware, even our linux distros. And that’s without even thinking about supply chain. And most of the the hardware we use and has support licences.
