Proton: Dot .me domains are safer than .com

Proton VPN is a privacy-focused VPN service developed by the makers of ProtonMail, offering strong encryption, no logging policies, and secure core servers for enhanced anonymity.

The company operates from the domain Proton.me for its core services of encrypted email, acquired in 2022. The dot .me ccTLD is that of Montenegro, which opened to general usage in 2008.

In a recent exchange, Proton stated that .me domains are more secure than .com. That exchange took place on BlueSky:

Is that claim objective or accurate?

Proton uses the .me domain not just for technical reasons but for branding and perceived security, asserting that its use is safer than .com. This is based on their internal classification.

While the safety claim is not objectively provable across the board, dot .me remains a reputable and creatively flexible “generic” ccTLD and Proton’s public trust in it reflects confidence in the .me Registry’s operations.
