See title. A bit of a dumb question, but given my threat model, I'm curious if it's maybe strategically better to not rely on Proton for their VPN. If I rely too much on one provider, I think that that's not a good idea.

It's not about TomsGuide or OP, it's about Securitum (who did the audit) and their methodology. If you don't trust the audit then please out why and we'll see if they fix the problem. It's genuinely valuable.

Share the audit then, not the tomsguide article.

Audit can be easily accessed here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/no-logs-audit

You just shared an article, not the audit.

True, I just thought it might be more useful to OP than just the PDF + all other audits are listed too.

My point is that sharing an article by an irrelevant third party spreading misinformation due commercial interest is not a good pratice.
