Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

But does this only create one node, or does it create dozens of them in each country?

Because I use a VPN so I can have anonymous exit nodes in whatever country I want. Happy to be corrected, but I don't think that's self-hostable.

My main self hosting point was for email. :)

How do you send email tho? Its my understanding that hosting is easy, but major providers will assume you are spam and block? Or do you just receive?

You could spin up instances of cloud servers just for the time of your connection, but that would be slower to set up and probably more expensive (depends how much time you spend on the vpn).
