What's a good alternative VPN provider in EU, not based in Italy? Mullvad is not an option, port forwarding is an absolute requirement.
Also, is there anything out there that ties password/account management and temp emails together as well as proton pass?
Yeah it's not just for privacy, hence the port forwarding requirement.
AFAIK nothing has shown issues with the privacy of either email or VPN? At least not something that wasn't caused by blatant idiot user error like the guy with his apple email as recovery email.
