Battle-tested real-world privacy
Proton VPN is trusted by millions of journalists, NGOs, activists, and ordinary people to stay private online and access the free and open internet in even some of the world's most hostile censorship environments.
Recommended by the United Nations and supported by the European Commission, Proton VPN has proven itself where privacy matters most — under real-world pressure, not just in theory.
No logs privacy
Proton VPN keeps no record of what you do online. Our no-logs infrastructure undergoes an annual independent audit, and unlike most even true no-logs VPN services, being based in Switzerland means we can't be legally compelled to start logging.
Blocks ad and tracker scripts
NetShield Ad-blocker an advanced DNS filtering feature that protects your privacy by blocking invasive ads and commercial trackers before they reach you.
Available to everyone on a paid Proton VPN plan, NetShield blocks ads, trackers, and other malicious scripts from contacting known "bad actor" domains, automatically blocking them from loading. And thanks to recent improvements, NetShield Ad-blocker is now six times more powerful.

Open source and people before profit
Our apps are open source, so anyone can examine their code to ensure it does what it's supposed to do — and only what it's supposed to do. We also commission regular third party audits, so you don't need to.
And to ensure we'll always put people before profit, our primary shareholder is the non-profit Proton Foundation, whose Board of Trustees include leading champions of online privacy such as Prof. Carissa Velez and inventor of the world wide web, Sir Tim Berners Lee.
