Proton VPN offers a security and privacy-focused VPN app for iOS and iPadOS. If you have an iPhone or iPad, our iOS app will protect your online activity with a secure no-logs VPN service. You can sign up for a Free plan for iOS(neues Fenster) through the app or on our website.

With our VPN app for iOS, you can connect to a VPN server with a single tap. Once connected to one of our VPN servers, your personal data will be protected, your online browsing activity will stay private, and you will be able to access censored content. This guide explains how to download and use the Proton VPN app to protect your online activity.

On an iPhone or iPod touch, the Proton VPN app requires iOS 15.0 or later. On an iPad, it needs iPadOS 15.0 or later.

1.  Download and install the Proton VPN iOS app from the Apple App Store, or go to the Proton VPN iOS app download(neues Fenster) page.

2. Open the app and Sign in.

3. Connect to a VPN server.

Once signed-in, you will see the Countries server list. If you are on any paid Proton VPN plan, you can connect to any of our high-speed servers in 110+ countries. If you’re on our Free plan, we’ll automatically connect you to a server in the Netherlands, Japan, Romania, Poland, or the United States.

There are several ways to connect to VPN servers.

a) The fastest way to connect to a server is by tapping the Quick Connect button.

Quick Connect uses a sophisticated algorithm to calculate which VPN server will be fastest for you based on your location and the different traffic loads on our servers.
