So, we don't have to "gut our company" to remove any "intermingling" because there was little to none to begin with, and certainly nothing today. Proton has also always run our own infrastructure, and for ProtonVPN, this is publicly verifiable. This in itself is not strange, we also have some employees who previously worked at Google, the ultimate data mining company, but clearly decided they preferred to work for the other side. There are no board members, directors, shareholders, or employees, related to Tesonet beyond the fact that a couple employees might have been employed there previously. As is common with startups, in the past we did not always do all our HR in house (it's all in house today), but employees were always working on Proton and for Proton. Proton does not today, and has never, used contracted (outsourced) employees. Obviously businesses don't operate with such 'scorched earth' policies and I don't expect you to gut your company based on a HN comment, but it is what it would take for me and many other privacy-conscious individuals to regain our trust.ĭefinitely appreciate your concern here, but there's still a lot which is being confused. that were or are related to TesoNet, as well as any reliance on their infrastructure. Internet traffic is supremely personal and for me to trust a company handling that there cannot even be the slightest sheen of misconduct.įor me to trust you you would have to completely cut out your Lithuanian subsidiary and any employees, board members, etc. But unlike, say, a billing company that handles my energy or water provider (where I care much less if they have tenuous links to data mining) my standard is extremely high for a VPN. Like I already stated, it's very unlikely you are compromised. * There is a lot of intermingling between TesoNet and NordVPN and to a lesser extent TesoNet and ProtonVPN. * Due to an error and unyielding policies by Google TesoNet holds your Android app signing keys in name But the story being pushed isn't 'demonstratively false'.
I agree, the VPN industry is rife with shady business practices.
On one hand, there's anonymous websites, competing VPN companies, and hundreds of Twitter bots pushing a story that is demonstratively false (just check public records).
