Why Proton VPN?

When you use a VPN, you're entrusting it with your privacy. Here's why you can trust us:

Open source
Independently audited
Strict no-logs policy
Transparent

Here’s why we’re different from other VPN providers

When you use a VPN, it acts as a middleman between your device and the internet. It essentially takes over the role of your internet service provider and routes your data to the correct destination.

Open source

Our apps are 100% open source, so anyone can examine our code. This means you can have confidence that our apps are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and only what they are supposed to be doing.

Independently audited

We regularly submit our apps to third-party security audits and make the results public. This way, everyone can get an independent expert’s review of our apps’ security.

Strict no-logs policy

Under Swiss law, we are not obligated to save any user connection logs, nor can we be forced to perform targeted logging on specific users. This means that your private browsing history stays private and cannot be turned over to a third-party.

Transparency

We are transparent about who we are. Information about who owns the company, where we run it from(new window), our leadership team(new window), what data we collect and how we use it, and how we interact with law enforcement is all publicly available.

Swiss jurisdiction

Under Swiss law, we have no data retention requirements, and can also not be forced to log your online activity. Switzerland is not part of surveillance agreements such as the 5 Eyes or 14 Eyes, and under Swiss law, gag orders are not allowed.

100% free VPN

We believe privacy should be accessible to all, which is why we have a 100% free VPN with no catches. Our free VPN has allowed people around the world to bypass censorship and regain online freedom. It is financed thanks to the support of our paid users.

Because your VPN provider can see the websites you visit, it’s very important to choose a VPN that is trustworthy and secure.

Trusted and recommended by the experts and our community

Few competitors can match its mix of affordability, features, and design. Its premium subscription is an excellent value for any VPN, and it's made all the better for including secure email, storage, and calendar tools. For all that, it gets a rare five-star rating and wins our Editor's Choice award.

All VPN providers claim to be security experts, but few can match Swiss-based Proton’s experience and track record.

We’re impressed with Proton VPN’s straightforward, transparent approach, especially in contrast to the general atmosphere of secrecy and shiftiness in the VPN industry. If you’re in need of a well-rounded VPN service that puts its money where its mouth is, take a look at Proton VPN.
