Will Proton VPN work on my PC?

Proton VPN has apps for all popular desktop operating systems. If you're not sure which operating system your computer has, most PCs use Windows. We also have apps for Mac (macOS), Linux, and Chromebooks.

Are there any limits on your Free plan?

There are no bandwidth restrictions on our free plan. If you're on Proton VPN Free, you'll be automatically connected to a server in the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, Poland, Romania, Canada, Norway, Mexico, Singapore, and Switzerland. Note that our free servers can get busy at times, which may affect your internet speed. Proton VPN Free will remain free forever. But if you upgrade to a paid plan, you'll get even faster speeds and advanced security features: * Choose from over 20,000 servers in more than 140 countries * Connect to our high-speed 10 Gbps servers on up to 10 devices at once * Unblock popular streaming services to watch your favorite TV anywhere * Stop ads, trackers, and malware with NetShield Ad-blocker * Protect yourself against network attacks with Secure Core
