Reminder that rasengan, before running vp.net also owned Private Internet Access (PIA) [0] which was also allegedly involved in spreading rumors about ProtonVPN years ago [1].
PIA btw was acquired by Kape/Crossrider: https://cyberinsider.com/private-internet-access-kape-crossr...
So there is a lot of history between the owner of vp.net and proton.
