So far as I've read, tuta is banned in Russia and Egypt. Speculating, I guess banning an encrypted email service is to make it easier for the banning authority to access the emails. The issue would be pertinent for travelers who might visit such countries with tuta accounts they use, or others who wish to communicate securely online with people in those countries.
Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims

I don't need typerwiter, I am using VPN and do not plan to stop using it.buy a typewriter then. There are ways to determine from the sound of it what you are typing. Don't use computersEverything has security flaws, we just don't know it yet. Open Source is still the right approach to minimizing those.
If you refer to xz that wasn't in there for years. The guy who put it in went the "correct way" of becoming a member of the community before placing the flaw piece by piece. Thats the common / correct approach for a (gov funded) hacker.
VPS = Virtual Private Server, VPN = Virtual Private Network. You can install a VPN server on a VPS.
why IPv6?
VPS with configured VPN for anonymity does not work. As the address is easily identifiable. It is simple to set up VM and enable VPN as VM network as in the case of android is not vulnerable to the attack.
Or disable VPN splitting as a first measure e.g. getting Mullvad instead of NordVPN because Mullvad app prevents connection to non-VPN interfaces.
IPv6 had security issues in the past and it is bad choice for anonymity. There are other ways to mitigate this issue though.
one can use VPN (with proper configuration) with tuta.

tutanota was also considered trusted for privacy but was banned for posting objectionable material which they attempted to hide from the public but failed, more info on the links below:

I don't see what's so objectionable about that blog post to have them banned in several countries. The only message I see is that they are promoting people to encrypt their private email and using Trump as a catch story to promote it.

@f33dm3bits Agreed....
^^^.....that blog post and the privacy Conscious etc etc....sounds to me like what the British would call 'bollocks'
The Privacy Conscious blurb is published by two blokes from Reddit....among their writings are :Technological Competency and Radical/Oppositional Ideology
Yeah, right.

They lied (and defamed the whole family), someone who claims to care about your privacy and is already considered trusted is supposed to be honest and to act like professional.
It's not like the person hadn't already made a fool of himself in the last years or that it would have prevented him making a fool of himself, but I'll leave it at that or else it will be heading too much towards politics. And I can see the sarcasm in the blog post, even if that wasn't written at the top.
