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/
The onion link was used, please see my screenshot first…
Huh, that’s wierd. Because it worked for me… they must be rate limiting Tor.
I checked that (together with the clearnet link) a few times recently, got a nondescript error like “sorry something went wrong” every time.
