NordVPN shares offices in Estonia with ProtonVPN. For that reason I find it sketchy.

I would like to read more about this, do you have a source?
I cannot find anything reliable that suggests this! Thanks.

This suggests the opposite of what you say in your original comment.

I was not the original person that replied to you. I was just providing with you with information on the incident they were referring to. Proton denied the claim but it is up to you whether you believe them or not.
You should also link the HN thread where proton categorically denies the claims.
In particular, the claim that tesonet controls protonvpn's release signing key.
They clearly put a lot of effort in cleaning the mess, as I later discovered myself by being from the same city:

It seems very likely now, that ProtonMail just decided to use NordVPN's white-label solution to bootstrap its ProtonVPN business:
>NordVPN shares offices in Estonia with ProtonVPN
What really? Some proof for that? ProtonVPN and ProtonMail is located in Switzerland Genève, i dont see any open positions for estonia
I don't think NordVPN is sketchy, even with their latest hic-ups. They are however located in Panama as far as I know, which probably gives the US access for "drug trafficing".
