I have something to share too in keeping honest and keeping things real.
As you may know I beta'd the ProtonMail porton, and am a big fan and supporter, well I was too busy and had just purchased AirVPN so I skip the VPN beta.
Anyway the day of launch, for me it was actually night, I signup fot the acct, I get the passwords for it and the OpenVPN option.
I go to login in the morning and after entering my info I get a page that's a congrats type of page telling me that I am now on a waiting list and this was after receiving my acct and setup details. Not only did they implement a waiting list early the next day, but they erased or deleted all the free user accounts that were created early after the launch of the service. you should have seen the email I sent.
No way will I give them a penny due to that type of shady behavior. AirVPN has no worries thanks to ProtonMail's BS business practices.

Thank you for being frank .... it counts for a lot .
Like yourself , I had a lot of faith in Protonmail from the start .
Their ethical position on privacy and security , business model , and geographic location ticked a lot of the right boxes for me .
This waiting list thing reminds me of the original email service .... I had to wait to get my account back then .
I applied for their VPN from the link in the email account => result ? - put on waiting list .
Just out of curiosity , I applied as a total stranger a few days later , from a different IP => result ? - put on waiting list .
What does that look like ?
Shabby , that's what ....
....with no preference for existing email users and supporters .
I'm disappointed .
..... If i wanted to close my eyes and pick i would have gone with the green popular company which is actually a lot more clear believe it or not.
You've lost me there ...
Are you hinting at a particular VPN service ?
If so , I'm sure it would be OK to name them here
