Does Proton track its own VPNs?

See title. A bit of a dumb question, but given my threat model, I’m curious if it’s maybe strategically better to not rely on Proton for their VPN. If I rely too much on one provider, I think that that’s not a good idea.

The article is not very trustworthy, promoting VPN they have financial partnerships and calling them “best”

It’s not about TomsGuide or OP, it’s about Securitum (who did the audit) and their methodology. If you don’t trust the audit then please out why and we’ll see if they fix the problem. It’s genuinely valuable.

Share the audit then, not the tomsguide article.

Audit can be easily accessed here: protonvpn.com/blog/no-logs-audit

You just shared an article, not the audit.

True, I just thought it might be more useful to OP than just the PDF + all other audits are listed too.

My point is that sharing an article by an irrelevant third party spreading misinformation due commercial interest is not a good pratice.

They do not track/log anything on their VPN servers, at least not according the the audits I’ve heard about.

I don’t really see a point in rotating your VPN provider regularly; It would cost more, make you stand out more, and unless you are putting significant delay between switches, it wouldn’t hide much.

If not trusting whoever is handling your traffic is a must, I would honestly just use Tor, preferably in Tails really.
