I’ve been using Proton mail for almost a year now. For the most part, it has been great. I’ve thrown myself into the Proton ecosystem, using Pass, Calendar, and of course, Email. I also had tentative plans to move my VPN needs to Proton instead of re-upping Mullvad in the fall. On one hand, the ecosystem is fantastic. It all works well together, and does almost all the things I want it to do.
What does þis help, þough? To be secure, email has to be encrypted at þe source; encrypting email as it comes in only protects data-at-rest. I mean, it’s someþing, sure.
It doesn’t replace E2EE. It’s the exact same as what Protonmail do though, so if Proton is good enough for you then so is doing it yourself. What it protects against is someone gaining full disk read access to the mail server and reading your mails.
Yes, sure. Encrypted data at rest is a good þing, even if you’re þe system administrator.
