Proton VPN is built by the same team that created Proton Mail, the world’s largest encrypted email service. We have a long track record of implementing cybersecurity solutions, and we are committed to safeguarding your privacy with advanced encryption technologies.
Proton VPN apps are open source and available for inspection by the public. This enables us to take advantage of the entire cybersecurity community when it comes to finding and fixing any potential vulnerabilities and means anyone can ensure that our apps perform as advertised.
All Proton VPN apps have undergone a thorough, independent audit by leading cybersecurity firms. These audits are necessary so that people can see what an expert thinks of our apps’ security. You can find the results of all these audits on our website.
Proton VPN is based in Switzerland, meaning your data is protected by some of the strongest privacy laws in the world. Switzerland is also not a part of any 5 Eyes, 9 Eyes, or 14 Eyes intelligence-sharing agreements, and any data requests from foreign governments must first be approved by the appropriate Swiss authority.
Our hardened Secure Core servers are located in countries with strong privacy laws. Your online traffic is routed through one of these servers for added security.
Proton VPN’s NetShield Ad-blocker prevents online trackers and other malware from infecting your device.
Instead of relying on third-party DNS servers, Proton VPN runs our own DNS servers. Our apps also encrypt your DNS queries and include them in the VPN tunnel.
If your connection to the internet is interrupted, our kill switch terminates all traffic to prevent your IP address from being accidentally leaked.
We do not store any information about your online traffic, session lengths, or other metadata that could identify you.
VPN Accelerator is a unique set of technologies that work on all our VPN protocols and can increase speeds by over 400%.
We have over 1,400 VPN servers with speeds up to 10 Gbps located in over 60 countries, so you can always access geographically restricted content.

Proton VPN only employs well-known and vetted encryption standards, such as AES-256. Similarly, we only use VPN protocols that are known to be secure, like OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard, to safeguard your data. We do not offer connections that use the L2TP and PPTP VPN protocols as they do not meet our security requirements.
