      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.

    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.

    Honestly self host with physical security. As long as your house isn’t raided your fine.

    You could also setup a vps gateway that routes traffic over wireguard into a isolated environment at home. This should be better for privacy.

    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]
