ProtonVPN overview

ProtonVPN is designed with security as the main focus, drawing upon the lessons we have learned from working with journalists and activists in the field.

Features:
  • Secure core - Regular VPN services can be compromised if their servers are under surveillance. ProtonVPN prevents this by first passing user traffic through our Secure Core network in privacy-friendly countries like Switzerland and Iceland. Thus, even a compromised VPN endpoint server will not reveal your true IP address.
  • Perfect forward secrecy - ProtonVPN exclusively uses ciphers with Perfect Forward Secrecy, meaning that your encrypted traffic cannot be captured and decrypted later, even if an encryption key gets compromised in the future.
  • Swiss based - We are headquartered in Switzerland which has some of the world's strongest privacy laws. Switzerland is also outside of EU and US jurisdiction and is not a member of the fourteen eyes surveillance network.
  • No-log policy - ProtonVPN is a no logs VPN service. We do not track or record your internet activity, and therefore, we are unable to disclose this information to third parties.
  • Tor over VPN - ProtonVPN also integrates with the Tor anonymity network. With a single click, you can route all your traffic through the Tor network and access Onion sites.

MORE NEW PROTON: Proton Pass has just been released from Proton. It's is their encrypted password manager with web browser integration. It's out of beta but further features are still being developed. There are THREE tiers. FREE = • Automatically syncs data across multiple devices and browsers. • Unlimited login passwords and notes • Unlimited devices • 10 hide-my-email aliases - - Pass Plus (Currently promoted at 12€ yearly ! Regularly 60€ yearly) adds: • Unlimited hide-my-email aliases • Integrated 2FA (two-factor authentication) • Organize items with multiple vaults • Autofill credit cards (under development). - - The premium tier, Proton Unlimited, provides full access to all FIVE Proton app services (Currently promoted at 120€ per year ! Regularly 156€ per year). The current Proton app services are Proton Pass, VPN, Mail, Drive and Calendar. -->Hopefully, MU will add the further four to the website so we can review and rate them individually. Me? I'm obviously a fanboi Proton Unlimited user, consistently impressed with everything they create and provide, which is the only reason I write this stuff about them. (Good riddance 1Password).

v3.1.3 is out. The direct download is at: https://protonvpn.com/download/ProtonVPN_mac_v3.1.3.dmg - - This fixes the file identification errors discovered (reported to them by me *sigh*) inside the app. 3.1.3 Release Notes: "• You can now see your online privacy protected in real time with the new NetShield Privacy Panel. • See how many ads and privacy-invading trackers are blocked and how much data you're saving by freeing up bandwidth. • Addresses a software update bug when updating from builds supporting macOS Catalina. • This release supports macOS Big Sur and later."

OIC: Proton messed up the download file name. [COVID.... Bleh] It's their fault. "3.0.18" is actually v3.1.2. It's version is correctly set inside the application but NOT on the download file. I'll attempt to wake them up and let them know the blunder.

Inexplicably, what's downloading is v3.0.18, rather than v3.1.2 the actual current version. So! (1) If you have already been using ProtonVPN, use its own updater to update to v3.1.2. (2) If you are NEW to ProtonVPN (which I praise) then do the v3.0.18 free download, THEN use the app's own updater to update to v3.1.2. [COVID.... Bleh]

Of the VPNs I uses, ProtonVPN is the one that's constantly improving itself. I use it every day and am glad to have it. Until recently, it had a quirky disconnect/reconnect problem. Please note that problem was solved with this update, removing the only criticism I've had with them. (I pestered them to fix it). Their free version is adequate for average VPN uses, fast and reliable. Their paid version provides a nicely wide variety of exit nodes around the world, which is useful for accessing in-country only Internet sites and media. There are some great VPNs these days worthy of investment. This is one of them and is only getting better. I trust them 100% as well.
