We make choosing privacy simple. Our easy-to-use VPN lets you connect to a VPN server with a single click or tap. We also follow a strict no-logs policy, which means we don’t keep any session usage information about what you do online, and we don’t log any metadata that could compromise your privacy.
Proton has been recommended by the United Nations and is supported by the European Commission. We are proud to be the VPN of choice for activists, NGOs, journalists, and millions of people around the world who want to be able to choose who has access to their data.

If you are visiting South Africa, using a VPN ensures that you can still access all your favorite content from back home that may not be available online in South Africa. Using a VPN also hides your online activity from the ISP you use in South Africa, and protects you from leaking your IP address when torrenting files over a P2P network.
Using a VPN is completely legal in South Africa, as long as you are not using it to conduct any illegal activities. A VPN is just another cybersecurity tool, so you cannot get in trouble with the authorities in South Africa for using a VPN.
We do not operate free servers in South Africa, so to connect to a VPN server in South Africa you need to upgrade to a paid plan. If you prefer, you can instead connect to free servers in the United States, Netherlands, and Japan using our Free plan.
