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

        This is an acceptable trade off for Russia, probably not for India.

      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.
