    If you start blocking VPNs you are cutting off your country from most telework/outsourcing because corporations need VPNs to their branch offices.

      A state level block on protonvpn would be at the IP block level based on known, published exit nodes.

      Corporate VPNs are point to point and would not be impacted

    I think protonmail can work with tor

  The article is not very clear, but my interpretation is that this is about the e-mails sent from Proton Mail, not users being able to access the Proton Mail web site.

  A VPN won’t help you if the server for the recipient of the e-mail drops the e-mail.

  So, basically imagine that all Internet service providers in India have to block any e-mail from @proton.me and not deliver them. I think that’s the idea.
