What does this mean for Microsoft users? It means your Copilot data can now leave the EU for processing. When their European servers hit capacity, your prompts, emails, and files are sent to the US, Canada, or Australia for AI processing.

So even if your data is stored in Europe, it's not necessarily being processed there anymore. And if you're supposed to be GDPR-compliant (or following NIS2 or DORA), that's a problem.

Oh, and they made it the default. New accounts created after March 25 already have it on. Everyone else is getting it turned on automatically.

You have to go turn it off yourself:
Copilot > Settings > Flex routing during load periods > do not allow

We wrote a blog on why this matters and what it means for EU businesses: https://proton.me/business/blog/microsoft365-copilot-flex-routing

Hey everyone,

We've just expanded the Proton VPN server network to 145 countries with 15 new additions.

New locations:

• Andorra
• Bolivia
• Gabon
• Greenland
• Haiti
• Jamaica
• Kyrgyzstan
• Lebanon
• Liechtenstein
• Macau
• Monaco
• Nicaragua
• Papua New Guinea
• Paraguay
• Uruguay

This expansion is part of our ongoing work to make Proton VPN useful wherever you are — whether you're traveling, need access to local content, or live in a country where privacy tools aren't optional.

As always, every server runs under the same no-logs policy and Swiss jurisdiction.

Let us know if there's a location you'd like to see next!

Stay safe, 

Proton Team
