In short, the answer is yes if you are looking for a secure, encrypted email service that does not have access to the contents of your inbox. After all, ProtonMail is far better than Gmail or Yahoo when it comes to privacy.
All 6k came through swiss courts, and protonmail are very transparent about the information revealed (which is very little)
To avoid most of it, just use a VPN and pay with non KYC bitcoin

Content and attachments encrypted if sent to another protonmail user correct? If sent outside of protonmail you must use the encryption key / password for the recipient, in which case it then becomes encrypted end to end even when sent to a Gmail recipient?

What are the proper settings to use in Proton VPN? Many times after I use it, I notice a lot of spammy activity / phishing style attempts on my phone, PC, etc? Am I missing something?

obviously if you're emailing people on gmail and what not then you give up any expectation of privacy
