Proton pulled their VPN servers out of India after they passed a law mandating logging.
‘you can connect to our new Smart Routing servers for India. These will give you an Indian IP address and behave just as our physical servers in India did. The only difference is that, in reality, they are based in Singapore.’

But if you need to communicate with people from there like a lot of company do, you’re fucked.
Just call instead and explain you’ve sent them emails. Oh, you’re not getting the email because of your government? That sounds like a you problem that you need to fix. I might be forced to take my business elsewhere.
What’s scary is that China and India are to massive countries in terms of population. The way this is going most of humanity could end up living in countries with low respect for human rights.
I was beaten for standing against authoritarian government. The situation is so bad in India that I am afraid to reveal my religion in university. Lot of people in University tries to oppress me and I can’t even complaint because everyone is ok with this and they enjoy oppressing us minorities.
I honesly feel like a jew living under nazi germany. 😞

i am sorry, but i am not sure if you know how ridiculous and hurtful this sounds for people who have witnessed the holocaust and their relatives.
you do not know how it feels to be a jew under naxi germany.
i do not doubt your suffering and oppression, but this is a bit insensitive in my perception and i think these are things we shouldn’t compare until there are comparable things happening.
anyway, yes, that sucks. i am sad that your government is like this in an authoritarian way and that everbody else is ok with everything.
I work for the US government and Proton is blocked at the network level, so I can’t check my personal email at work. In that sense, the US has already “banned” it. In what other way could a government “ban” an email provider?
Honestly doing personal tasks on your works network is not a great idea. If anything use wireguard to route your traffic back to your home. (You can flash OpenWRT and set this up)
When I work from home, I can just not connect to the VPN and it’s fine. When I’m on site there’s no way around it
That’s odd. I’m surprised they blocked it for you. I also work for the US federal government and I haven’t had any issues with using Proton at work. I wonder why the difference.
Modi trying not to be an authoritarian POS challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!!)
What does that have to do with this thread?
They don’t want companies to aid people who want to bomb them. Is that really a tall ask? What do you prefer, that they wiretap the entire internet like western governments do here? You can know the UK can read our private messages? - https://gizmodo.com/teen-fine-joke-text-taliban-jets-scramble-in-spain-1851192668
