No. All Proton VPN users, even those on our Free plan, have unlimited bandwidth and data. However, it is likely that your connection will be slightly slower when you are connected to one of our VPN servers than it is when you are browsing the Internet without using Proton VPN.
There are a number of factors that can impact the overall speed of your VPN connection, including the load on the server you are connected to, the distance between your device and the server you are connected to, and the speed of your original Internet connection, just to name a few.
We have hundreds of servers in dozens of countries to provide you with the fastest and most secure VPN connection. If you feel your Internet is too slow when connected to Proton VPN, please check out our article about how to solve common bandwidth and speed issues.

« All ProtonVPN users have unlimited bandwidth and speed. »
I don’t get it… When taking a look at the “VPN plans and prices”, it’s stated that:
– Free plan gets Low speed.
– Basic plan gets High speed.
– Plus & Visionary plans get Highest speed.
Isn’t it contradictory?
Or are “Low/High/Highest” speeds your own evaluation of expected speeds, based on the number of users using the VPN service simultaneously in each plan category (more Free plan users = less speed for each user ; less Visionary plan users = more speed for each user)?

When I access protonomail in vpn it automatically goes to Edge. Does it matter which browser I use to access protonmail, and do it need to launch protonmail within proton vpn for the most effective protection?
Also, if I have multiple email address associated with my account, are they all protected.

The VPN connection encrypts all of your network traffic, hence the choice of browser is not relevant. Also, as the VPN connection only protects your network connection on the device it is activated on. Example: you have your laptop and a desktop, if you run ProtonVPN ony our laptop, the connection on your desktop is not protected unless you also install ProtonVPN there

You say ‘Due to extremely high demand, we have had to institute a waiting list for…free users…adding capacity…’ but why is it that the percentage/user load icons during most times of the day on most of the countries IPs/Servers don’t seem to reflect this as it doesn’t seem to display a lot of users?
I’m mentioning this of of course because of regular Initializing connection issues and assigning IP issues.

Visionary users and beta testers get the max number of 10 simultaneous connections; upon launch there will also be other plans available with less (but still enough) connections
