Proton VPN: Private, Secure

A VPN app designed for private, secure internet access, Proton VPN delivers military-grade encryption and a strict no-logs policy so your online activity remains yours alone. Built by the same CERN scientists behind Proton Mail, this free VPN respects your privacy from day one — no data selling, no ad injection, and no bandwidth throttling.

Your internet activity stays protected with advanced security features that work seamlessly in the background. Unlimited data access means you browse, stream, and download without restrictions or speed caps. Perfect forward secrecy ensures that even if traffic is captured, it cannot be decrypted later. DNS leak protection encrypts all your domain queries, preventing your browsing history from leaking through DNS vulnerabilities. An always-on kill switch automatically cuts your connection if the VPN drops, protecting you from accidental data exposure.

Bypass geo-restrictions and censorship with smart protocol selection that automatically detects and overcomes VPN bans, unlocking blocked sites and restricted content worldwide. Whether you're accessing news, streaming platforms, or communication tools in restrictive regions, Proton VPN helps you reclaim your digital freedom. A discreet app icon option lets you keep your privacy tool hidden from plain sight.

Upgrade to premium for blazing-fast speeds across 20,000+ servers in over 140 countries. VPN Accelerator technology boosts connection speeds by up to 400%, making streaming and downloads feel instant. Connect up to 10 devices simultaneously, so your entire digital life stays protected. NetShield ad blocker stops malware, advertisements, and website trackers in their tracks — no more invasive follow-across-the-web monitoring.

Stream films, sports, and video content on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, and other services without geo-blocks slowing you down. Secure Core servers add an extra layer of protection through multi-hop encryption, guarding against network-based attacks. Split tunneling gives you granular control — choose which apps route through the VPN tunnel and which connect normally.

Proton VPN uses only battle-tested protocols (OpenVPN and WireGuard) with AES-256 and 4096-bit RSA encryption. Independent third-party security audits validate every claim, and open-source code transparency means security experts worldwide can review and verify the implementation.
