ProtonMail has long been a popular end-to-end encrypted email service. The company behind it has offered other services too, including a Virtual Private Network (VPN). It recently revamped and consolidated its product line, neatly bringing together its Mail, Calendar, Drive (for storage) and VPN tools. Privacy remains the focus throughout, as consumers show ever greater interest in what their data is used for. Proton offers free email accounts, but there are paid upgrades available too. These include an Unlimited package that offers all the services for €9.99 (about £10) per month or €119.88 (about £120) for a year.
