The best VPN for travelling abroad

Yes. Often when travelling, you will be forced to rely on public WiFi for your internet access, whether that’s the WiFi in your hotel, airport, or hotspots in the country you are travelling to. If you accidentally connect to a malicious or unsecured WiFi network, your personal data is at risk. Depending on where you travel to, the government of that country may also be interested in monitoring your online activity.

Using a VPN while on holiday means you can browse the internet as if you were still in your home country. Some countries may have restricted access to particular websites or social media platforms, or might have a different catalogue of shows on your favorite streaming services. To browse this geo-blocked content, you only need to connect to a Proton VPN server in your home country.

Note: To stream via VPN, you will need to have a Proton VPN Plus account and be connected to a Plus server.

You can use Proton VPN in any country. Anywhere you are connected to the internet, you can use and benefit from a VPN. If you are in an area with extremely slow or unreliable internet services, you may find that a VPN connection noticeably slows your connection, though connecting to the WireGuard® protocol and using Proton VPN’s VPN Accelerator can improve these speeds by over 400%.
