Proton VPN Review

"Proton VPN or Mullvad VPN are the best choices. Not owned by big companies and are privacy focused to the core!"

"ProtonVPN let's you use it for free on one computer. They're probably the only entity that I actually trust to care about privacy"

"Proton VPN, 100% no questions asked. Open source codebase, full end-to-end encryption, no user data logs, and protected by Swiss data privacy laws which are some of the strictest in the world. The Swiss government practically never honors..."

"Mullvad or Proton are top of the list. I've never heard of Witopia but they're US based so they get a hard NO from me. Mullvad and Proton do not log activity and they prove it with 3rd party audits. I read somewhere recently that one of th..."

"...vpns-what-you-need-to-know/ For VPN I would stick with the PrivacyGuides recommendations, that is, Proton VPN, Mullvad, or IVPN: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ You can use a VPN on YouTube but you need to try out several countries,..."

"It's not the best in terms of privacy. Mullvad and Proton VPN are the two best in this regard."

"...vacy, you cant go wrong with Librewolf (Mullvald/Tor If you want to be anonymous).You could install Proton VPN (free, best vpn along with Mullvald vpn) as a extension or app."

"Been using ProtonVPN and all their other apps. People might scoff at paying for an email, or calander app, but the VPN+Cloud storage is worth it for me. I was also a windscribe user for years and have no complaints"

"Best free ones are gonna be either proton VPN or windscribe free. If you can get a paid Mullvad is only approximately €5 a month ($5.91). All of these are reputable VPNs."

"ExpressVPN was bought by a data broker... And NordVPN was hacked at least twice. I would not use either. ProtonVPN or MullvadVPN are the only ones I trust."

"ProtonVPN is 100% better in terms of privacy and reputation. And, speed still comes close to Nord. Both are excellent for normal usage tho. Some of my friends prefer Nord over Proton(they play games) for very unknown reasons. "

"...e an issue; and if it is, I doubt it is significant. I've never had fundamental speed problems with Proton VPN. Obviously it may be different for you. But as others have said, just try. I suspect many complain about Proton are using the Fre..."

"For me it’s ProtonVPN plus Onion Browser — that stack is rock solid. VPN handles the encrypted tunnel, Tor adds anonymity. Between the two, I get both privacy and resilience without buying into the hype."

"ProtonVPN Review in 2026: Any thoughts? Using the internet today feels a lot less private than it used to. Between constant ads following you around and the risks of public WiFi, I felt like a VPN was no longer optional. I have been using ..."

"You could always go for ProtonVPN, that is a pretty good option and is much faster as well. They do have a free plan, however you don't choose the servers and it's only for 1 device. But it's one of the most secure VPN's out there (besides ..."

"NordVPN's user database has been hacked at least twice. ProtonVPN and MullvadVPN are the only one's worth trusting."

"Best for privacy: MullVad, CopVPN, ProtonVPN. Best for speed: Surfshark, Express, NordVPN."

"...rs. I'm not super into crypto, but I believe Monero is a privacy focused crypto. I would recommend Proton VPN if you can make use of their other services, and AirVPN is quite nice too. Mullvad is probably the best though, just not the che..."

"You concede that Proton "may" be one of them? What gave you that impression? Could it be that they follow a stated ["no logs policy?"](https://protonvpn.com/features/no-logs-policy) Or that they've been independently audited by [Securitu..."

"As a security professional who speaks at a lot of conferences and advises on privacy, Mullvad is the best. The ONLY other one I would recommend is ProtonVPN if you want an easier experience. The "top" VPN providers you see on advertisements..."

"...omputer repair shop owner here (check my profile), there are only 4 VPNs anyone should be using: * Proton VPN (free) * Mullvad * IVPN * Windscribe These VPN companies are proven to be trustworthy, which is important because whichever serv..."

"...amp;auto=webp&s=614cad412e5a8b8f03ba42347821ad107e4f69e1 I have used the free and paid plan of proton vpn .so far it has been a good and reliable vpn.i did a dns leak test and it has masked my real ip and showing Argentinas ip address"

"I’ve been using Proton. VPN works very well and they value security"

"Just a reminder: Independent auditors confirm Proton VPN never logs your data Images: https://external-preview.redd.it/Ic_q1VKin2_OBHStsM3zVFmVxuHaXJVr1HMeL-IKZ-c.jpeg?auto=webp&s=ee3f232b601c98c8da335a0b50af871bfb563541 "

"If you are still looking for a free VPN for Australia then, I will recommend you can try ProtonVPN. It gives great features for online privacy, streaming and gaming. It works well for me."

"I canceled and got a refund when I found out about the Israeli security connection. I’ve gone for proton VPN and I’m happy"

"Proton, any VPN that sponser YTers have terrible privacy policies. Air, Mullvad and Proton are the best for privacy focused. I recently moved to Proton because they are better for P2P."

"Proton or Mullvad and ignore anyone that says something really dumb and uninformed like: "You don't need a VPN unless you're doing things that are illegal.""

"Proton and Mullvad are solid if you want security without killing your speed."

"Firefox browser Then adguard, ublock, and id recommend adding a third one of your choice  I also suggest sponsorblock, privacy badger, and ghostery, plus getting a VPN, so far proton has been the best free option"

"As AI gets better, that will be increasingly useless. Right now disrupting standard behavior patterns works best--literally doing cartwheels is enough for AI to not recognize you as human. Good time to point out that NordVPN is con..."

"Він правий, суть впн втому що логі не побачать локальний майор. Чи виріти ви що укр впн не злиє всі ваші логі по першому запиту? Навіт..."

"Proton is the only safe reliable free VPN..."

"По анонімності найкращі Mullvad i Proton. Якщо щось сучасне і плюшки - Surfshark"

"I'm on Proton and it really is great. The ability to transition many google apps with one package of apps is great, especially since you know you'll money will go to develop more anti-google apps in the future."

"Proton gets review bombed on trustpilot by people who don't understand how VPNs work lol. Their service is actually solid, been using it for like 2 years with zero issues For email I'd go with Tuta personally - clean interface and the e..."

">My primary asset at risk is my personal digital history: years of political opinions, comments, and discussions posted under my real identity across multiple platforms. None of this is illegal or extreme by today’s standards, but I ca..."

"PIA is no longer a reputable VPN service. They were bought out by an Israeli company and will 1000% sniff your traffic and will share their subscriber info to any paying entity. Nord, Mullvad, and Proton are near the top for best service. ..."

"Express is bad - why not use Proton, unlimited free, audited."

"Free VPNs are always a compromise. Proton Free is still the most trustworthy long term, but X-VPN is fine for light browsing if you accept the limits."

"Nearly all VPN providers sell your data including most paid ones. There's a reason why PIA, Nord VPN and others can sponsor half the internet's creators. This video does a great job at unpacking this and brings evidence the claims made: [..."

"Ok, let's try this a different way...Let's say they do change and start logging, do you realize how quickly they would go out of business? If going out of business is their goal then log away. You're right, no audit can determine future ac..."

"Depends how much is too much hassle:) The following steps are quick, ‘set and forget’ measures. These will protect against tracking in general, not just Facebook pixel. This is assuming you want to stay with FF rather than switch brows..."

"I see this a lot in IT circles. Most folks I know still trust Proton and Mullvad since their audits and ownership are pretty solid."

"In order of  preference. Mullvad  Proton  Windscribe. All 3 have valid audits. All have good security and plenty of features. Windscribe has all the bells and whistles, including some that you probably don't need. Mullvad does exactly wh..."

"proton for best torrenting. mulvad for best anonymousy and privacy."

"Free vpns are risky, proton is good as they still keep your information private. It's not a free VPN, but MullVad is something like £2 a month, but can pay for 1 month without the high price"

"Of the commercial options, I’d only trust Proton (Switzerland) or Mullvad (Sweden). After I discovered VPN groups on Firewalla, I have three WireGuard VPNs to Proton and Mullvad. I use this with Unbound. Best of both worlds. ISP sees not..."

"I’d go with Mullvad or Proton. Both are independent and pretty transparent."

"Bitdefender has better detection rates whilst Eset is more lightweight and easy to use, Kaspersky has a little bit of controversy. Proton and Nord are top tier and mullvad has proven it's no logs policy is iron clad."
