Black Friday 2020: up to 50% off new subscriptions, plus early access to Proton Drive

Our Black Friday 2020 promotion is the best opportunity to take back your online privacy while also helping to create a more free and open internet for all.

This year, as part of our Black Friday offer, we’re also introducing something new. In addition to a discount of up to 50% off Proton VPN Plus and Proton Mail Plus plans, you can also get early access to Proton Drive, our new end-to-end encrypted cloud storage service.

All Proton VPN Plus and Proton Mail Plus bundle users get early access to Proton Drive. If you already have a Proton VPN Plus account, you can get access to Proton Drive simply by purchasing a Proton Mail(new window) Plus account for a discounted price during Black Friday.

As well as being a great bargain, purchasing a Proton Plus plan supports our mission to expand access to online security, privacy, and end-to-end encryption.

Our Black Friday offers are only available for a limited time.

Benefits of Proton Plus plans

Proton products make the internet a safer, freer, and more private place for our users. We don’t log your online activity, can’t read your emails, and can’t access your data stored in Proton Drive. Here are all the benefits you unlock by upgrading to Plus.

Proton VPN Plus

Proton VPN Plus users enjoy all premium features of our no-logs VPN service. You can access our highest-speed Plus servers in over 50 counties, connect up to five devices at once, and stream services such as Netflix, HBO Max, BBC iPlayer, and many more.

Those requiring additional security can route connections through one of our specially hardened Secure Core servers located in privacy-friendly jurisdictions before accessing the internet through any of our regular VPN servers. 

Proton VPN Plus users can take advantage of our one-click Tor servers for convenient access to .onion sites. Proton VPN Plus also supports BitTorrent traffic and other file sharing protocols.

Proton Mail Plus

As a Proton Mail Plus user, you gain 5 GB of storage, can send up to 1,000 messages a day, and can organize your inbox using labels, custom filters, and folders. Proton Mail Plus users also have full access to all ProtonContacts features and are eligible for storage bonuses(new window).

Many users upgrade to Proton Mail Plus to gain access to custom domain names and up to five email addresses. Proton Mail keeps your communications secure by utilizing encryption to ensure that no third party (not even Proton) can read your messages.

Proton Drive

Proton Drive is an end-to-end encrypted file storage service(new window). With Proton Drive, you can back up sensitive files online with end-to-end encryption and access them at any time from anywhere in the world. Our use of encryption means that, unlike non-private services like Google Drive, we cannot access or scan your personal files. Our Black Friday 2020 deal gives you early access to Proton Drive beta.

Proton Calendar

Proton Calendar is an end-to-end encrypted calendar(new window) that allows you to organize your life without anyone else being able to see your plans. All Proton VPN Plus and Proton Mail Plus users have access to Proton Calendar.

Our vision is to integrate all our products into a single encrypted ecosystem. By taking advantage of our Black Friday 2020 offer, you will join millions of people supporting our effort to build a more private and secure internet for all.
