I assume that's the VPN proton and not the linux compatibility layer proton, right?

Andy used proton's official accounts to voice his political stances for the regime. They have since retracted the statement but it's still worrying to say the least and something to keep an eye on if you use their services.

I've been using them for years and don't think it's quite time to jump ship because it is the best option for me, but I'm keeping a close eye to see if it worsens and starts affecting the company in a negative manner.
