With Proton VPN, you don’t necessarily need a Tor browser to access hidden services. Use your regular browser to connect to the Tor network using your Proton VPN Plus account.
Our server network includes nodes that reroute your internet traffic through the Tor network. Proton VPN has Tor servers in several countries. The servers that connect to the Tor network include “TOR” in their label.
Connecting to one of our Tor servers enables you to access hidden services and onion sites. For example, you can connect to Proton’s onion site at https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion(new window) for extra privacy.
You can use your Proton VPN app to connect to the Tor network on virtually any device without needing to download any other apps. Simply connect to one of our Tor servers with a single tap.
The best way for us to protect your personal data is to hold as little of it as possible. We don’t ask you for any identifying information when you sign up to Proton VPN — just an email address.
Our VPN service has the unique ability to defend against network-based attacks by routing your traffic through multiple servers in our Secure Core network. This protects your traffic from being monitored at the exit server.
We only use OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard VPN protocols, which are known to be secure. (We do not use the less secure PPTP and L2TP protocols.) By using Proton VPN, you can be sure that your VPN tunnel is protected by the most reliable protocols.
We do not save any activity logs, and we cannot be forced to perform targeted logging, so you can be sure your browsing history will stay private.
We believe in transparency and peer review and have made all of our apps open source — so anyone can examine our code.
You can protect your DNS queries by routing them through an encrypted tunnel, and we never rely on third-party DNS providers.
VPN Accelerator is a unique set of technologies that work on all our VPN protocols and can increase speeds by over 400%.
Proton VPN’s NetShield Ad-blocker prevents online trackers and other malware from infecting your device.
You can use Proton VPN to access your favorite TV shows on streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu no matter where you are.
To ensure you receive optimal performance from Proton VPN, we only use high-speed servers, with connections up to 10 Gbps.
Proton VPN’s advanced security features come in easy-to-use apps for virtually every device, with convenient features like our one-click Quick Connect button.

Once you’ve connected to one of our Tor servers, all your internet traffic will be routed through the Tor network automatically. However, if you want to access hidden services, such as Proton’s onion site, you may need to configure your browser to resolve onion domains. We have step-by-step guides for each browser on our support pages.
Tor stands for The Onion Router, so named because of the layers of privacy it affords. The Tor network helps to disguise your identity online by encrypting your traffic and routing it across different Tor servers so no one can track your activity.
Tor over VPN is only available with a Plus or Visionary plan. For more information about which features you can access with a paid plan, check out our different VPN plans(new window).
