    Proton always felt like a scam to me. Their claims on privacy and security are questionable at best.

      There is a relatively small number of shared Tor exit node IP addresses.

      So it’s more likely using Tor will trigger “too many attempts for IP” throttling for any service with bot protection.

      It’s nothing against Tor, but is an expected side-affect of attempting to be anonymous by sharing the same IP address with many people.
