Update: Proton has replied and said I had "An unusual number of VPN connections" and they thought it my be a DDos attack or something. Still didn't reinstated the account and are asking what I use my account for.

We forget how important owning our own Data and assets is until it's too late, when you get this message it's too late. Account suspensions can ruin life's and many times the user didn't do anything wrong. My Proton account was suspended today, and I don't know why. It's going to take me so long to overcome now if it doesn't get reinstated. OWN YOUR DATA, OWN YOUR #BITCOIN.

That's interesting, really weird for them to be asking the purpose of my account and banning my whole Account because I use the VPN a lot.

Interesting... What would qualify as "an unusual number of VPN connections?"🤔

I don't know, they didn't make that clear, but I only use one phone and mostly just for Nostr.

You should reply with "for privacy"

I can only imagine that it's either somehow tied to potential torrenting of pirate content or that they think you're using your account for a professional purposes and want to push you into the pro paying tier 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very bizarre 🤔 I hope you'll update us as the story develops 😅
