Proton VPN/mail. It's often recommended as being safe, but I'm not so sure.

It has servers in Israel. Ties to Israel are never a good thing. Palantir, Epstein, etc are tied to Israel, and Israel also is known for its surveillance. It is also true that it's completely legal there for them to access and monitor any and all information that passes through VPNs or networks there.

I'm looking for a safe alternative that's privacy-conscious and isn't linked to Israel. Both mail and vpn (it's fine if they're separate). Please let me know if you guys know.

The observable behavior is the fact that Israel allows it's communication and intelligence agencies complete legal access to access and monitor any info out of VPNs and other digital social info/comms.

That's been sourced; Israel is known for its surveillance. I'm not sure why that's so controversial.

This isn't fear-mongering, this isn't assumption.
