As it is based in Switzerland, a privacy-friendly jurisdiction, the service adheres to a strict no-logs policy, ensuring that your digital footprint remains confidential. Their user-friendly interface makes it accessible to both beginners and tech-savvy users, while advanced security features such as strong encryption and secure core servers offer a high level of protection. It grants access to geo-restricted content which makes it very nice for streaming contents, and it typically provides reliable and fast connections. > > **Cons**: The free plan comes with limitations on server selection and speed, which may not suit heavy users. Their pricing structure can be somewhat complex, with different plans offering various features, potentially causing confusion for some. The smaller server network compared to some competitors may result in slower connections during peak times. ----- ### "Best for browsing anonymously" — 5.0/5 > **Angelo** | *7 July 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: communication speed and performance. If you choose a country close to you, and make a video call, there will not be much latency. But you can also avoid this, by adding your programs, networks or specific IP, to the filter so that ProtonVPN routes all the traffic of that filter, or not to route it and let it go through the default route. This is wonderful, if for example: You want Google Chrome to think you are somewhere else, but Firefox does know your real location. You have the option to use wireguard as the connection method, this is not only fast, but it secures your communications even more. Especially if you use ProtonMail, in some countries, ProtonMail doesn't work, but you can use ProtonVPN to fix that. The killswitch function is fantastic and fulfills the function for which it was designed > > **Cons**: The price can be a bit high, if you have to buy the service for several employees and you don't want them to share passwords. > > It is my first choice, to surf the internet. I trust that they did not collect my private usage data. ----- ### "A great VPN" — 5.0/5 > **Lucy** | *28 September 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Proton VPN offers a wide range of server locations all around the world. One of the great features offered is the Secure Core which routes Internet connections via Proton own servers. One would expect Internet speed throttle but Proton VPN doesn't throttle speed that much. One can always opt for the new cloud integrated service and access a secure email account at low cost. > > **Cons**: It does not offer a lot of African countries server locations. I could only access two countries ie. South Africa and Nigeria. For a continent with over 54 countries, this is unacceptable Proton. > > A very affordable VPN solution. I like it. ----- ### "Best VPN Ever\!" — 4.0/5 > **Shivam** | *5 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well, First feature I like most is , Its free to use VPN. It's have strong Focus on Privacy. That's What everyone wants. > > **Cons**: Well, Overall it's have so many benefits, but I faced issue in Linux. While I was using Proton VPN in Linux.

I am using this VPN from 2019. Now I am Thinking about to buy Subscription of it :) Whenever Someone Ask me "Suggest Me good VPN"then I say one and only Proton VPN, I tried so many Free VPN but this one is Awesome\! specially about the Strong Privacy\! ----- ### "Proton VPN ( Move on the Globe in Just One Click)" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 February 2023* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Your Internet connection is encrypted while you browse the internet with Proton VPN.The advanced security features with Proton VPN make absolutely sure that an opponent cannot snoop on your connection by routing it through encrypted channels.Moreover, it enables you to access sites which may be forbidden in your country. > > **Cons**: Inconsistent speeds , It drops the speed at large and High Price bracket > > Excellent, if your are using one phone or device than you may opt for the free version ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/502767/ProtonVPN?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/502767/ProtonVPN) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
