My general rule is to keep three major islands

- Email
- VPN (anonymization)
- Secret storage (passwords)

I’d only ever consider mixing Email/VPN if i have a local backup and a domain custom domain name that would allow me to migrate email to a new provider.

With the [CEO promoting Trump](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/proton-ceo-endorses-trump-nominee-for-assistant-attorney-general/24020), the disingenuous launch of [their AI](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/proton-markets-lumo-as-open-source-but-support-calls-it-a-long-term-intention-not-the-instantaneous-state/30004) and lately the disingenuous launch of their [2FA app](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/introducing-proton-authenticator-secure-2fa-your-way/29612), I would definitely not put everything in Proton.

That’s misinformation he did not “promote Trump” Trump was already voted in as president. The way I read it he was massaging Trump’s ego probably in the hopes that there won’t be bullshit regulation that hits his industry. If anything he was promoting [Gail Slater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Slater) (the pick that Trump made). More so specifically because of her work with antitrust.

Gotta remember these CEOs will say whatever they think is going to get the best result for their company at the time.
