    Why do you trust a Germany based secure email over something like Proton? At least Mullvad is Sweden based.

        Not more than the Swiss. Germany is part of the spy dragnet. It does not offer the same level of privacy protection.

          Five and eleven eyes doesn’t matter if the service is encrypted and open sourced. Also, did you know that Switzerland has no superior privacy laws comparing to Germany? It’s all marketing bluff.

        So why are my German relatives super-scared of pirating because of the government finding out, and get me to torrent all their shit for them and mail it to them on cheap hardrives?

          Correction: It’s not the government, it’s private law firms doing this. Your IP is public when you torrent, they just have bots monitoring the most active trackers and try to extort money from the people they catch.
