At Proton VPN, we’ve reached a new milestone in our mission to make online privacy the default for everyone. Now offering over 5500 servers on six continents, Proton VPN is one of the largest and most popular VPN services in the world. And we’re growing fast!
Proton VPN only uses bare metal (physical, not virtual) servers that we can fully control all the way down to the base operating system level.
Learn how we secure our servers
Proton VPN is funded entirely by you, our community. With no venture capital investors to please, this allows us to invest heavily on improving our infrastructure and developing exciting new products and features.
As David Peterson, Proton VPN’s General Manager notes, “We’ve achieved this 5000+ server milestone because we spend the money raised from our community on improving the service, rather than on advertising. We keep growing at this pace because of genuine word-of-mouth referrals, rather than through paid endorsements. Indeed, the entire way Proton is structured(nova janela) ensures we put service to our community over the pursuit of profit”.
And in addition to now operating one of the largest VPN networks in the world, Proton VPN is also one of the fastest. For the last few weeks, we’ve been checking our speeds against the other most popular VPNs on the market in different regions, and the graph below shows their relative performance.
As with our server count, it’s clear that our speeds have improved dramatically in the last few years, and are continuing to grow at a rapid pace.
