A Swiss-based VPN from the Proton ecosystem with a usable free tier and strong no-logs policy — excellent infrastructure held back by account requirements.
This toolkit is for informational purposes. Security needs vary by situation. No tool guarantees complete privacy or anonymity.
WireGuard and OpenVPN support with Secure Core routing through privacy-friendly countries for multi-hop protection.
Requires a Proton account to use, linking VPN activity to an email identity unless an anonymous account is created first.
All client apps are open source and audited; Secure Core server infrastructure is independently verified.
Swiss jurisdiction with constitutional privacy protections; Proton has successfully challenged data requests in Swiss courts.
Operating since 2017; no-logs policy verified by independent audit, though younger than Mullvad or IVPN.
Polished, modern interface with server map, streaming support, and easy one-click connection across all platforms.
Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chromebook with consistent experience and Secure Core on all platforms.
Free tier available but limited; paid plans accept Bitcoin through Proton account, but no cash or Monero options.
