Description:

<h3>ProtonVPN: Swiss privacy, open-source apps and high-speed global network</h3>
<p>ProtonVPN is a privacy-first VPN from Swiss company Proton AG, built by former CERN and MIT researchers. It combines a strict no-logs policy under Swiss jurisdiction, open-source audited apps, and modern protocols to protect users on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, TV platforms and popular browsers. ProtonVPN targets privacy-conscious users who also need streaming, P2P and reliable performance across a large global server footprint.</p>

<h3>Security, privacy and transparency</h3>
<ul>
  <li><em>Swiss jurisdiction and no-logs:</em> Headquartered in Switzerland with strong privacy laws, ProtonVPN maintains a strict no-logs policy to reduce exposure to surveillance and data requests.</li>
  <li><em>Open-source, audited clients:</em> Desktop, mobile and extension apps are open source and undergo third-party audits to improve transparency and security.</li>
  <li><em>Modern encryption and protocols:</em> Supports WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2 with industry-standard encryption and Perfect Forward Secrecy to keep traffic secure.</li>
  <li><em>Secure Core and Tor over VPN:</em> Secure Core routes connections through privacy-friendly jurisdictions before exiting to the internet, and specialized Tor-enabled servers provide seamless access to the Tor network.</li>
  <li><em>Kill switch, Always-on and split tunneling:</em> Built-in kill switch and Always-on VPN prevent IP leaks on disconnect, while split tunneling gives control over which apps use the tunnel.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Network size, performance and reliability</h3>
<ul>
  <li><em>Extensive server network:</em> Paid plans provide access to over 20,000 servers in 140+ countries, with many servers optimized for streaming, P2P and low-latency connections.</li>
  <li><em>High-speed infrastructure:</em> Servers include high-capacity links (up to 10 Gbps) and regional performance optimizations to support fast throughput.</li>
  <li><em>VPN Accelerator and Smart Protocol:</em> Proton�VPN includes a VPN Accelerator to improve long-distance speeds and a Smart Protocol option that automatically picks the best available protocol for performance and stability.</li>
  <li><em>Quick Connect and server selection:</em> Automatic Quick Connect finds nearby high-speed servers or you can choose specific hosts by location, load, Secure Core or P2P optimization.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Privacy extras, content access and anti-censorship</h3>
<ul>
  <li><em>NetShield ad and malware blocker:</em> DNS-level filtering blocks ads, trackers and malicious domains (available on Proton VPN Plus and Proton Unlimited plans).</li>
  <li><em>Streaming and P2P support:</em> Servers tuned to unblock services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu and marked P2P servers allow safe torrenting on paid plans.</li>
  <li><em>Alternative routing for censorship:</em> Built-in alternative routing and obfuscation help maintain connectivity in restrictive regions where VPNs are blocked.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Apps, platform coverage and user experience</h3>
<ul>
  <li><em>Wide platform support:</em> Native apps and extensions are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Chrome, Firefox, Chromebook, Apple TV, Android TV and Fire TV.</li>
  <li><em>Simple setup and Proton account integration:</em> Downloadable installers and integration with Proton account credentials make sign-up and sign-in straightforward, including existing Proton Mail users.</li>
  <li><em>Multi-device connections:</em> Paid plans allow up to 10 simultaneous connections, covering phones, laptops, routers and streaming devices.</li>
  <li><em>Intuitive interface and management:</em> Map view, server lists, split tunneling and load indicators simplify connection choices for both beginners and advanced users.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Plans, guarantees and target users</h3>
<ul>
  <li><em>Free plan with no data cap:</em> ProtonVPN offers a limited free tier that provides basic privacy without a data cap, ideal for initial use and lightweight protection.</li>
  <li><em>Paid tiers and features:</em> Proton VPN Plus and Proton Unlimited unlock Secure Core, NetShield, VPN Accelerator, Tor servers, full server access and advanced streaming/P2P features.</li>
  <li><em>30-day money-back and support:</em> Paid subscriptions include a 30-day money-back guarantee and tiered support, with priority help for higher plans.</li>
  <li><em>Who benefits most:</em> Journalists, activists and privacy-focused users who value audited open-source clients; streamers and torrenters needing reliable unblocking and P2P support; and travelers or users in censored regions who require alternative routing and Secure Core protection.</li>
</ul>
