Proton VPN
Start free, upgrade when you need more
Proton VPN has a free tier without a data allowance and open-source apps. VPN Plus adds more location choice, ten simultaneous connections and features such as NetShield. The free plan protects one device and has different server-selection and feature limits, so it is not a free version of every Plus feature.
$83.76 billed upfront for 24 months
30-day refund policy; conditions apply
