## Your key to unlocking the internet

When you use a VPN (virtual private network), your traffic is routed through a secure server that hides your real IP address and encrypts the data your device sends and receives.

This makes it harder for websites, advertisers, and even your internet service provider (ISP) to track where you are and what you do online.

What is a VPN

## Secure every connection

Download Proton VPN today and connect up to 10 devices with one subscription.

### Watch your favorite TV shows, no matter where you are

With servers in over 120 countries, Proton VPN lets you unlock a world of content across popular streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and more.

## Why use a VPN?

##### Dodge annoying ads and protect against malware

**NetShield Ad-blocker** is our signature DNS filtering feature that prevents advertisers from using your browsing history to gather your personal data and deliver targeted ads.

How NetShield works

##### Bypass censorship and get all sides of the story

With **Stealth**, our custom VPN protocol, you can bypass government restrictions to access censored sites and social media while disguising your VPN connection.

How Proton fights censorship

##### Browse at the highest speeds

Our 10 Gbps server network combined with our unique **VPN Accelerator** increases your VPN speeds by up to 400% without compromising stability or security.

How VPN Accelerator works

##### Explore the internet with total privacy

We don’t log your activity or share data with third parties. And, because we’re **based in Switzerland**, home of some of the world's strictest privacy laws, we can’t be forced to.

## Making privacy the default

Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists who met at CERN, the birthplace of the internet. We have always had a central mission: to build a better internet where privacy is the default.

We’re community supported and believe in putting people over profit. We don’t answer to venture capital investors, advertisers, or other third parties and will never sell your data.
