Thank you for your response @jonah. Seems it’s not totally outside the realms of possibility that – whether Proton can be forced to or not – they may have the means to determine (and store) the actual IP addresses of Proton Mail users who are using Proton VPN (without Tor).
Probably nothing for the vast majority of people to be hugely concerned about, but it’s a potential risk some adverse users may wish to consider.
