Bypass censorship

Problem: "I can’t access x site because my country is blocking it (censorship) or because launch is delayed (e.g., ChatGPT arrived in some countries a few weeks or months after the US."

How Proton VPN solves it:

Simply select a server in a different country and connect to it. This routes your internet traffic through servers located in countries where X site is accessible, allowing you to access it.

Key Features:

  • Stealth: Proton VPN’s custom protocol that disguises your VPN connection, making it harder to block.

  • Smart protocol: When a default VPN protocol is blocked, it automatically switches to a different VPN protocol to evade the block and maintain your connection to Proton VPN.

  • Alternative routing: routes you through alternate networks in case of network restrictions or blocks to maintain your connection to Proton VPN.

  • Discrete app icons (Android): in case of physical inspection of your phone by police/government officials, you can disguise your app icon into a non-alarming icon (e.g., weather, notes, calculator app).

  • Proton VPN offers a free app with no ads and no logs. Unlike most other free VPNs, which typically have slower speeds or collect your data (they need to make money somehow), Proton VPN Free is made possible thanks to our paid users and aligns with our mission to make the internet open and free for all.

  • No logs policy: We do not collect, store, or track your online activity. Also, you don’t have to take our word for it – our app and no logs policy have been verified and audited by independent experts, and the complete reports are publicly available on our website.

  • Android Guest Mode allows you to use Proton VPN without even creating an account.
