Seems that the Swiss legislature may pass a law requiring ProtonVPN to start banning certain domains from being access by French users (mostly illegal sports streaming sites)

For those using ProtonVPN, is the writing on the wall?

    I don’t know if it’s the same law but they’ve already said they’d move countries, anywhere with laws suitable for the service

      Would they really though? Being in Switzerland is a huge part of their brand and marketing.

        The only reason it’s part of their branding because Switzerland is notoriously respectful of privacy. If they stop being that then that’s no longer a selling point.
