How to sign in to Proton VPN
To sign in to our apps and the Proton VPN website, you’ll need to use your Proton Account credentials.
If you’ve manually configured your device to connect to Proton VPN using OpenVPN, you’ll need to sign in using your OpenVPN / IKEv2 username and password.
Proton Account details
These are your Proton Account credentials. You’ll need them to sign in to the Proton VPN app, or our website.
If you have a Proton Mail address
You can use your full email address (eric.norbert123@proton.me) or your username (eric.norbert123).
Your Proton Account works for all Proton services. If you created your account for another Proton service (like Proton Mail(new window), Proton Drive(new window), or Proton Pass(new window)) and have never used Proton VPN before, you can still use these details to sign in to Proton VPN.
If you don’t have a Proton Mail address
If you created your Proton VPN account with an external email address, you’ll need to enter your full email address into the username field.
OpenVPN / IKEv2 username and password
Your OpenVPN / IKEv2 username and password are automatically generated for use with third-party VPN clients such as Tunnelblick for macOS and OpenVPN GUI for Windows. If you have trouble signing in with third-party OpenVPN applications, click here to solve the problem.
Where possible, we recommend using the official Proton VPN apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS/iPadOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, and browser.
For now, we continue to support manual IKEv2 configuration, but strongly recommend using OpenVPN or WireGuard® for manual configuration instead of IKEv2. If you manually configure a device using IKEv2, you’ll need to sign in using your OpenVPN / IKEv2 username and password.
How to find your OpenVPN / IKEv2 username and password
1. In a browser, sign in to account.protonvpn.com using your Proton Account username and password (the ones you set up during account creation – see above).
2. In the menu on the left, go to Account → OpenVPN / IKEv2 username
From here, you can copy your OpenVPN / IKEv2 username and password.
