    Just tested it, same here. Clearnet works but tor not. I will contact support since part of the reason I like to pay for unlimited is to subsidize free, anonymous accounts.

    Edit: here is my other comment:

    I previously commented I would write the support, now I actually read the docs first and found out why:

    If you want to create an account over tor you can, just not via the clearnet URL, probably due to rate limiting by IP adress. However if you use their Onion Link as specified in this article by their support (https://proton.me/support/tor-setup) it works just fine (as far as I just tested). So great! Because using .onion services is far more secure than accessing clearnet over Tor anyway.

    Here the url, verify it with the link in the support article tho: https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/

      Okay, if they will responder faster than in one month you could publish the respond here if you will like to do it. But I am surr they will say it is a “technical error”. Every privacy leak now is described as technical error - apple, google, meta - all use this therm to justify their intentional action
