A single IP address, which would mean nothing with VPN use. Germany is literally part of the spying eyes. That is the difference here. Proton giving out one address vs the surveillance network of a NATO state?... Lol

Ok? It does not matter LOL other states authorites can ask swis for information like what happend with the activist. Vpns are not private lol. You probably use your email for personal things like this lemmy account and you probably don't use a vpn with it all the time so your email is already linked to you. Email is defenetly not private and was never made to be. If vpns are so private why is tor a thing?
