Is Proton VPN trustworthy?

Proton VPN is built by the same team who created Proton Mail, the most popular encrypted email service in the world. Founded by a group of scientists and engineers who met at CERN, Proton’s vision is to make an internet where privacy is the default. We are supported by the European Commission and recommended by the United Nations. We are also used by journalists, activists, and millions of people worldwide to stay safe and bypass government censorship.
