Today I decided to sign up for a proton mail account to move my domain registrar contact email to a provider other than Gmail. I changed my registrar contact email around 30 minutes ago.

Now it seems like Proton mail is down, or that I am unable to authenticate. The issue is at their end, my outgoing auth requests get hung and timed out. Tried all the usual fixes, multiple networks, cache, incognito firebox, google chrome, etc.

Now the status page shows they are investigating an incident.

I am now second guessing my decision to use proton mail at all.

Obviously, my domain registrar allows me to change my contact email at any time so this is not a real issue at the moment but I have neverexpeirenced a gmail outage.

The timing is rather serendipitous, or whatever the polar opposite of serendipity would be here. FUNNY!
