About this app

IMPORTANT: There is a new version of the ProtonVPN app available and this version is not supported anymore. Please install the new ProtonVPN app from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.protonvpn.android

ProtonVPN is a community-supported VPN app brought to you by the same team that created ProtonMail, the world’s largest encrypted email service. Our mission is to make advanced online privacy and security available to everyone. 


Install our VPN app now for free and use it to keep your IP address private, protect your Internet connection on public Wi-Fi, and access geo-restricted content.
Free plan offers unlimited browsing via servers in 3 countries. Upgrade to access 30+ countries and advanced features.

We have several subscription plans, each coming with different features. But all of our plans include:

✔ NO LOGS. EVER
We will never log user activity or share user data with third parties. Even if authorities request information on our users’ online activity, we have nothing to share.

✔ PERFECT FORWARD SECRECY
ProtonVPN uses ciphers with Perfect Forward Secrecy, meaning your encrypted traffic cannot be captured and decrypted later, even if an encryption key gets compromised in the future.

✔ BASED IN SWITZERLAND
As a Swiss company based in Geneva, we are subject to Swiss law, which has some of the strongest privacy protections in the world.

Free features
Unlike other VPN services, with ProtonVPN there’s no free plan trial period, and you can browse as much as you want. ProtonVPN is the ONLY free VPN that has no privacy-invading ads, no malware, no bandwidth limits, and does not secretly sell user data. Our free service is supported by paid plans, where users get more privacy features and access to faster, exclusive servers.

Advanced features
In addition to faster connections on our exclusive servers, our Plus and Visionary members get access to our Secure Core servers. We own and provision these servers ourselves and we have placed them in countries with strong privacy protections. When you use our Secure Core network, your Internet traffic is routed through multiple servers, including these special, hardened servers. This makes it even more difficult for intruders to link your online activity to your IP address, even during advanced network-based attacks. 



What is different about ProtonVPN?
Whether challenging governments, educating the public, or training journalists, we are well-known privacy advocates and contributors to the open source community.

Ratings and reviews

Good app, easy to use. Here are the bugs that need to be fixed. 1) The app doesn't handle network changes well. If you move from cell to WiFi or between WiFi networks the app says your connected but in reality it disconnects and doesn't allow internet traffic. It needs to reconnect automatically upon network change. 2) You need to be able to define trusted and untrusted networks. Mobile devices jump between networks often so the user should be able to define to the VPN untrusted networks on which the VPN automatically connects and trusted networks where it disconnects. It should default to staying connected if already connected but leaves the untrusted network and ONLY automatically disconnect on a trusted network. This is a feature most other apps have.

This one is still working more reliably on my device than the new app. However, if I may make a suggestion, when adding IP addresses and apps to the exception list in the settings, being able to add multiple IP addresses in one go (i.e. 192.168.1.*), as well as having added apps sorted to the top when opening the latter's dialog would be extremely useful.

Randomly decided to check my speeds when the notification was showing zero transfers up or down. Opened the app to be greeted with a disconnected message. Because it's too hard to have a push notification for when I get disconnected. Not the first time. I like to be constantly aware of my connection status and this app is not very helpful in achieving that status. As for a suggestion, I'd also like the ability to have an automatic IP change after so many mb/gb or a timer for every 30 minutes.
