      Yep, my money goes to Switzerland. This message was brought to you by Proton.

      Jokes aside, I do really have been using Proton Mail and VPN for quite some time.

        Yes, proton is pretty awesome for privacy and security. And it’s also because the Swiss laws has made it possible.

    Switzerland, Iceland, Finland, Spain, Egypt,Sweden, and some 3rd world countries that don’t really give a shit (though they might give a shit if your country makes them give a shit)

    Here is an article that helps a bit with that.

    It goes almost without saying that you definitely want to avoid the United States and even more so China, Russia and so forth.

    My privacy hardening tips are:

    • Avoid 5-eyes, 9-eyes and 14-eyes countries[1].
    • Don’t use CloudFlare or any CDN/AntiDDOS services because they decrypt all traffic that goes to and from your server[2]^. You don’t know what they do with it.
    • DNS queries sent by the server should be encrypted[3] so that the ISP/data center cannot see them.
    • If you want a VPS: try getting KVM instead of LXC one. It’s so easy to automate processes scanning on the fly[4]
