Under Swiss law, ProtonMail should notify the user if a third party makes a request for their private data and if the data is for a criminal proceeding. However, there’s a big catch/ loophole here. On its law enforcement page, ProtonMail highlights that the notification can be delayed in the following cases:

Where providing notice is temporarily prohibited by the Swiss legal process itself, by Swiss court order, or applicable Swiss law;

Where, based on information supplied by law enforcement, we, in our absolute discretion, believe that providing notice could create a risk of injury, death, or irreparable damage to an identifiable individual or group of individuals;

As a general rule though, targeted users will eventually be informed and afforded the opportunity to object to the data request, either by ProtonMail or by Swiss authorities.

This incident seems to fall under the first case, and that’s why ProtonMail didn’t notify the user. “Some orders are final and cannot be appealed, that’s just how the legal system works, not everything can be appealed. The user wasn’t notified for the same reason that you don’t notify a suspect before arresting them,” says ProtonMail founder Andy Yen.

It’s also worth clarifying that ProtonMail doesn’t collect IP addresses by default. Instead, the monitoring/ logging starts after ProtonMail gets a legal request.

They still have to adhere to legal requests.

Over cloudflare, it’s knowing you’re the man in the middle and not some company. It has a few other things like zero trust, and an authentication layer.

I use racknerd for VPS and it’s about $35/year. So definitely one of the cheapest part of my home lab.

I’m using Pangolin, which is the current hotness. It’s somewhat like cloud flare tunnels, but you need a VPS (find a cheap one). That tunnels back to your house. I opted into using crowdsec as another later. It’s a part of their setup process.

I just wish the audiobookshelf android app had auto play for the next episode. Like the web version does.

We just need to reeeaaallly dedicated folks to just follow them for a while and post pics/video. It’s a public road, you’re just driving. Or something like that.

Gotta spend that grift money somehow.
