"Proton didn't start life as a VPN. The company, more than a decade old now, launched Proton VPN as an add-on to its wildly popular Proton Mail privacy-focused email client. Now, it's the VPN service most people should buy. That has less to do with how Proton VPN has changed and more to do with how it has stayed the same."
"Instead of chasing full security suites, mergers and acquisitions, and features that have little to do with an average internet denizen, Proton VPN has doubled down on what makes a great VPN great in the first place. It's secure and fast, sure, but it also disappears into the background, quietly protecting your browsing and unlocking content around the world. Proton VPN made a name for itself with its free plan, and it remains one of the only two free VPNs I recommend (alongside Windscribe)."
Proton VPN combines low pricing, a strong privacy record, and some of the fastest measured connection speeds. The company originated as an add-on to Proton Mail and maintains a focus on core VPN strengths rather than broad security-suite expansions. Full-featured apps exist for most platforms, including TV operating systems, while browser extensions and the Linux client lag behind. The free plan offers unlimited bandwidth, Plus-level privacy protections, one-device simultaneous connection, and access to five preselected medium-speed locations. Some advanced features are not available across all clients. Proton VPN emphasizes background operation, content unlocking, and user privacy protection.
