Sadly, I've already missed at least two of your comments. At least this particular one is not due to a technical issue: this comment didn't ping me because that was a response to yourself, not to my comment.

Yeah, so here are the two onion links owned by "Proton AG" (you can optionally verify that the domain matches with the one from the Wikipedia page "Proton Mail" or "Proton AG", for example):

https://account.protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/start

https://account.protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/mail/signup

Assuming that you're using Tor browser with default settings on Linux/Windows:

- Open Tor browser
- Ctrl+Shift+I (or a humburger button in the right upper corner - "More tools" - "Web Developer Tools")
- Tab "Network"
- Tab "All"
- Paste one of the two onion links in the address bar - Enter
- Register a new free Proton Mail account
- Press on the "Domain" column on the "Network" tab to enable sorting
- Scroll down, observe all the domains in the column
- Ctrl+Q (a humburger button - Quit)
- Repeat the same steps for another link.

For the first link, you will most likely see the domains that always end with ".onion". This means you're doing good; you didn't access the Tor exit points.

For the second one—if nothing has changed yet, besides the onion ones—you will see the domains like "w.hcaptcha.com", "js.strip.com", etc— these are the clearnet domains, accessed using one of the Tor exit nodes.

It's possible to disable access to the exit nodes entirely (which implies that you will likely not be able to register an account using the second link).

Let me know if something didn't work for you.
