... and keep a particularly close eye on the logs of those who selected this option?

I never really understood why the community was begging Proton to accept Monero directly. 🤔 I've been paying for their VPN with Monero for almost a year already, using a crypto card I load my PlasBit card with XMR and it simply works.

This news is definitely not all positive, but should be viewed with skepticism.

Please remember to use two wallets: One for receiving XMR and another for sending/paying. Only use the wallet for receiving XMR to top up the other payment wallet. The receiving wallet is never used to send to other wallets and the address is never published. - Two Wallets Increase Your Privacy

@hetzlemmingsworld I want to love this company. I wish its owner was not despicable.
