Frequently Asked Questions
We don’t impose any speed limits if you're on the Proton VPN Free plan. But remember that using any VPN service will slow down your internet speed a little.
If you're on Proton VPN Free, you have access to over 100 servers in the USA, the Netherlands, and Japan. These servers often have more users than our other servers do, which can affect your internet speed. However, Proton members on our free plan often report higher speeds than those found on other free VPN services.
We don’t block Netflix or any other streaming service if you’re on the Proton VPN Free plan. But we only guarantee access to a range of streaming services if you’re on a paid plan (Proton VPN Plus or Proton Unlimited).
No, our strict no-logs policy, which is backed by strong Swiss privacy laws, applies equally to everyone, whatever Proton VPN plan you’re on. We also use the same strong encryption protocols for all our plans.
No, Proton VPN Free is free for you to use forever. Many members of the Proton community find Proton VPN Free gives them all they need from a VPN. But if you want to get extra features and support our mission to give everyone privacy and security online, upgrade to a paid plan.
