Proton requiring you to doxx yourself via phone numbers and email addresses is such crap. Can’t sign up via Tor either, they limit crypto they accept and when. They log your payment methods, and just suck so bad compared to Mullvad. I know expecting privacy for email is a non-starter, but they pretend like their email is private when there is so much logging they do there alone.
Thanks for the heads-up with AirVPN, I was told they had good customer support but ¯\(ツ)/¯ I would not know.

Just to clarify: you don’t need a phone number for proton, and you can use a burner email as your backup. I agree with you though, I’d prefer not to give either, but backup emails are standard, so there is someplace to send a recovery code. *edited to correct typo.
