You'd prefer WireGuard support in an email service? What do you mean by that?

For ProtonVPN. Same company. Statement made on the assumption that resources spend on ProtonMail can be spend on ProtonVPN (which I admit is a stretch).

Given how simple WireGuard is to set up I don't understand why they don't support it. Their UI etc, sure. Then just make it alpha or beta or whatever. I'd happily test it. Give feedback, etc.

Meanwhile, I paid for a 2 year sub and barely use it because of this reason. Instead, I run a WireGuard VPN _to_ my home cable connection.

OK for ProtonVPN I am less confused about where your request is coming from. But I still don't see why your ProtonVPN subscription is totally useless to you because of no WG.

Your WG tunnel to your home is nice for accessing home stuff from outside, and for protecting your use of the coffee shop wifi, but it isn't anonymizing your traffic to your home ISP or to websites you use, which is a big reason for using a VPN product.
