SECURE CORE
Regular VPN services can be compromised if their servers are under surveillance or compromised. 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.

SWISS BASED
ProtonVPN also adds legal protection for your privacy. 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.


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.


PERFECT FORWARD SECRECY
We only use strong encryption algorithms (AES-256) and protocols (OpenVPN). ProtonVPN exclusively uses ciphers with Perfect Forward Secrecy, meaning that your encrypted traffic cannot be captured and decrypted later, even if the key gets compromised.
