Proton VPN

Why you need the world's most private VPN

Proton VPN makes your online experience better. It:

Stops people knowing what you do online

Provides robust security so you can browse the web safely

Blocks ads, malware, and trackers for safe and annoyance-free browsing

Allows you to access streaming services from anywhere

What you watch, click, and search for is your business and yours alone. Even we can't see what you get up to online.

Browse without being watched

With Proton VPN, you can hide your browsing history, location, and personal details from your internet provider and the websites you visit.

  • Your ISP can't see your online activity.
  • You government's mass surveillance programs can't see your online activity
  • Websites you visit can't can't see your IP address, the easiest and most accurate means they have to uniquely identity you.
  • You can P2P torrent safely without peers knowing who you are.

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.

This commitment to security extends to the protections we build directly into our apps. With our NetShield Ad-blocker DNS filtering feature, you can protected yourself from a wide variety of online threats, including:

  • Annoying ads
  • Malware
  • Phishing scams
  • Commercial trackers

Stream like you're at home

Whether you're on a business trip, backpacking through Europe, or visiting family abroad, you should still be able to access the shows, movies, and sports events that you enjoy at home. With Proton VPN, your digital home travels with you, so you can always access the services you subscribe to, no matter where you are. Proton VPN helps you access your usual libraries when you’re abroad, so you can continue watching:

  • Your home Netflix and Prime Video catalogues
  • Live sports from back home
  • Local news and TV from your region
  • Any of over 100 supported streaming services you already pay for

No more missing episodes, blacked-out matches, or “not available in your region” messages.

Putting people before profit

At Proton, our mission is simple: to keep your information safe, without slowing you down or selling you out. 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.
