Secure your online privacy with Proton VPN
Proton VPN was created by the same team of scientists who met at CERN that founded Proton Mail, the trusted encrypted email provider.
Hide your IP address from advertisers
Online trackers use your IP address to deliver personalized ads to you. By connecting to Proton VPN, you can remain private and avoid having advertisers monitor your online activity.
Hide your browsing activity from your ISP
Your internet service provider knows your device’s IP address and can monitor your browsing activity. When you use a VPN, your ISP can only see the IP address of the VPN server you are connected to, letting you browse privately and securely.
Strong encryption standards
Proton VPN uses strong encryption to protect against two common IP leak vectors: DNS and IPv6 leaks. Your IP address will never be visible on the internet when you are connected to our VPN servers.
The VPN that you can trust
Used by journalists and activists
Journalists, activists, and everyday citizens around the world use Proton VPN to access websites and social media that have been blocked by repressive governments. Proton has also been recommended by the UN as an effective tool for bypassing censorship.
Audited by independent experts
Proton VPN apps have undergone independent security audits to ensure full transparency. The audits are available on our website so you can read a professional’s assessment of our apps’ security.
No-logs VPN
Thanks to our strict no-logs policy, Proton VPN never stores any information about the websites you visit, session durations, or any data that can identify or compromise you. We also block all trackers that log user activity.

Proton VPN is headquartered in Switzerland, which is not a member of the 5 Eyes or 14 Eyes intelligence-sharing agreements.
Secure Core VPN
Route your connection through Secure Core servers located in countries with strong privacy laws for an extra layer of security.

Frequently asked questions

Sign up for a Free plan  and start protecting your privacy.
Is hiding your IP address illegal?
No, it is not illegal to hide your IP address. Hiding your IP address increases your online privacy and security so that it will be more difficult for advertisers, hackers, and governments to identify you or track you.
VPNs are also legal in most countries, but it is always a good idea to research the laws in a given jurisdiction before you connect.
