Sure the client is open source,
server code is closed source.

So if proton enshittifies or ceizes to exist,
the open source clients will be useless,
since you or someone else can't host the server, since that is closed source.

But whatever man, good for you if you like them and want to remain oblivious of the risks! c:

You don't need to host the server, you just move your domain to a different provider. It's nothing more than a 3 minute DNS config change.
