Few competitors can match its mix of affordability, features, and design. Its premium subscription is an excellent value for any VPN, and it's made all the better for including secure email, storage, and calendar tools. For all that, it gets a rare five-star rating and wins our Editor's Choice award.

All VPN providers claim to be security experts, but few can match Swiss-based Proton’s experience and track record.

We’re impressed with Proton VPN’s straightforward, transparent approach, especially in contrast to the general atmosphere of secrecy and shiftiness in the VPN industry. If you’re in need of a well-rounded VPN service that puts its money where its mouth is, take a look at Proton VPN.
