Mostly out of curiosity, but also somewhat related to Proton’s recent political involvement, I’m curious about alternatives to using their services, open to suggestions for:

  • Proton Mail: anything that can support custom domain, email aliases, and email scheduling?
  • Proton Drive: not the most important, but interested in privacy first, encrypted hosting services
  • Proton Pass: anything I should take a look at besides Bitwarden and Keepass?
  • Proton VPN: that one’s the hardest, it was really good, I think Mullvlad is the one most often recommended?
  • Proton Calendar: didn’t really care about that one, but it was nice that it connected to Mail

My Unlimited plan renewed in December so I’ll probably keep it for a year, it was nice having only one subsctiption to keep in mind, but I’m thinking of exploring other options

    Mail and calendar: i think mailbox and posteo should work well, they both support IMAP for mail and CalDAV for calendar, just get a nice client(surprisingly not many for calendar standard protocol. thunderbird on desktop and etar/fossify calendar on android. stock one on ios)

    VPN: MullVAD is the best

    Drive: Check filen, it’s cheaper and better, and has powerful CLI tools

    Pass: Maybe unofficial self hosted version of bitwarden. It’s called vaultwarden, and don’t be afraid of selfhost, basically all you need to do is docker compose.
