I am using Mullvad VPN with Tutanota Mail, working nicely 👀
You can also pay Proton with BTC, but it is only available in yearly subscriptions.
I miss Mullvad's leak detection banner, but I suppose the user shouldn't have to think about that, just being connected should be enough assurance you're protected if the defaults are sensible enough.

ProtonVPN has a built-in thing similar to the "leak detection", rather it's called their killswitch feature. If you are using the GUI for Windows for ProtonVPN, go into the advanced section of the settings and enable the killswitch feature, it'll ensure that if you get disconnected from their VPN network that your computer will not send any packets whatsoever on any services. You can also set up split tunneling through the advanced section which will let you configure different services to either use Proton or use your regular internet, it's quite easy.

Also, once you pay it yearly in Proton, BTC is non-refundable even if you feel like cancelling it.
I enjoy the flexibility in Mullvad, monthly available paid in BTC - if I do not like it, I leave peacefully.
