You need to know that we’ve been testing the ‘ Plus ‘ version of ProtonVPN before we get started. There’s also the ‘ Basic ‘ version that comes cheaper but is severely constrained. And there is also the ‘ Visionary ‘ plan covered by this review (this one supports more devices and includes a product called ProtonMailour review process for VPNs.

Background Jurisdiction Reputation

ProtonVPN appears to be a reliable and reliable VPN service. Based in Switzerland, it has proactive security measures for your privacy protection. Your IP address is deemed your personal information. As ruled by Switzerland’s Federal Supreme Country, your IP can not be used to track your Internet use (without this action being known to you). There is also the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) in Switzerland. This is a comprehensive set of laws which dictate how data is processed by organizations of individual companies and federal authorities. Interestingly enough companies are prohibited from disclosing your private data without your consent to third parties. The fact that Switzerland is not a member of the European Union should also be emphasised. But this nation is not a member of the Eyes Alliance 5/9/14 which certainly sounds encouraging. In principle it seems as if your private data is being handled in the best possible way. As you will see later in this review ProtonVPN does not collect your personal information. So even if something happens and your data is gathered (which can hardly happen), numerous valid protections are still in place. It’s also interesting to know that ProtonVPN is made by the same company as ProtonMail. This service provides encrypted exchange of emails, and is often targeted by authoritarian governments. In Russiaphishing attacks ProtonMail was targeted at ProtonMail just recently banned. So it’s safe to say this enterprise knows how to protect its users. Previous Data Leaks

A privilege escalation bug was discovered in ProtonVPN’s code back in September 2018. However this VPN acted before the bug was publicly revealed and this vulnerability was patched. In other words, no users have been affected and this vulnerability has not allowed any malicious code to be sent via its secure network. Other than this report we found nothing that might be troubling about the practices of ProtonVPN. It is safe to say that ProtonVPN has succeeded in establishing a secure link. It has never leaked any of its users ‘ personal data and there are no reports of anyone hacking into their network. So far it all sounds very reassuring. Of course we will test all the security-related claims of ProtonVPN so make sure that you read this article in full.

Doesn’t it?Windows Linux-MacOS. Desktop IOS Mobile Platforms. N / A Web Browsers. DD-WRT AsusWRT Tomato, and more. Some Appliances N / A. There are native apps for Windows and macOS with respect to desktop platforms. Also Linux is on board as you can install the configuration files for the OpenVPN package and input ProtonVPN.When it comes to Android and iOS mobile platforms. This was previously a drawback because on Apple’s mobile platform, ProtonVPN wasn’t available. Yet the situation changed when ProtonVPN entered the iOS App Store in November 2018. Additionally you can install ProtonVPN on a range of capable routers. There is a nice array of routers based on DD-WRT Tomato and AsusWRT firmware versions, since it uses the OpenVPN protocol. You can in theory install ProtonVPN on either of these.

Installation Initial Configuration

“2/2.1631.jpg” The installation of ProtonVPN should not be a problem, even if you are a complete beginner. You can do the whole process in minutes of your time. Our Score: “10/10. “2/2.1632.jpg” Once you log-in to your account on ProtonVPNs website click on the left-placed item called Downloads. You can see the available platforms here as well as OpenVPN configuration files if you want to want to avoid installing the application natively. Weve tested ProtonVPN on our Windows 10 PC where the installation process went without a single problem. The installation file comes in at around 14MB so you can download it fairly quickly even if you dont have a fast Web connection. Then initialize the Installation Wizard and thats pretty much it. “2/2.1633.jpg” Once installed you will see ProtonVPNs log-in screen. Make sure to enter your username and password and youll finally get to access all of this VPNs capabilities. Well explain its UI and what you can expect later in the article in our Ease of Use segment.

“2/2.1634.png” ProtonVPN comes with plenty of unique features adding a lot of value to its offer. The only thing thats missing right now is ad-blocking and anti-malware. Our Score: 8.5/10. VPNs may look the same on the outside. However make sure to take a look behind the scenes and inspect their features before buying a subscription. This will tell you how much value youre getting for your money and you can easily see if a VPN meets your needs. So heres what kinds of features you can expect out of ProtonVPN. VPN Features Checklist NO Unlimited Server Switches YES Unlimited Bandwidth YES YES In terms of protecting your online data and preventing leaks ProtonVPN uses DNS and IPv4 leak protection. And even though this VPN doesnt fully support IPv6 yet it comes with servers designed to prevent any leaks. In other words all IPv6 traffic is rerouted via this VPNs servers and it never leaves them so you can continue to browse the Web like you normally would. Its also interesting to note that ProtonVPN comes with a whole series of advanced features. You get a built-in kill-switch whose role is to prevent any Web traffic if your secure connection becomes compromised. Theres also split tunneling allowing you to select which applications use VPN traffic and which ones dont. ProtonVPN has also developed technologies you wont find elsewhere. For example Secure Core is a system of servers in privacy-friendly countries giving you another layer of security. In other words this system routes your traffic through several servers before leaving ProtonVPNs network. Another feature called Forward Secrecy automatically generates new encryption keys each time you use the VPN. This means that your traffic cant be decrypted even if any of your previously used keys get compromised. And lastly ProtonVPN enabled Tor over VPN via a selected set of servers.

“2/2.1635.jpg” ProtonVPN comes with a relatively small network of servers. Popular destinations are included but these servers are not evenly spread out across the world. Our Score: 4/10. Now well check how many servers does ProtonVPN offer as well as in how many countries and locations so you can compare it to its competitors. Check out the following table. Server Count Info 630+ Number of Locations 55+ Number of Countries 44 YES Unlimited Switching YES As you can see ProtonVPN currently offers more than 630 servers in 44 countries across the world. Its important to note that none of these are virtual servers and instead theyre physical units. However we cant say that were impressed by this number as top-rated VPNs currently offer from 3000 up to more than 5000 servers across the planet. Therefore it can be said that ProtonVPN is far behind those VPNs at least when it comes to its server count. As you can expect ProtonVPN offers servers in popular countries such as the USA Australia and many European countries. So if you live in any of these countries you can count on having a nearby server. Unfortunately the situation isnt that good in Africa and South America as youll only find servers in Brazil (Sao Paulo) and South Africa (Johannesburg). Differently said you cant count on having nearby servers so youll most likely experience some throttling. The situation is somewhat better in Asia as youll find servers in Japan South Korea Hong Kong Singapore India and Israel.2/2.1637.jpg Click on the hamburger button at the top-left corner to dive a bit deeper into this application. This is where you can check your profile software-related information, and you can also update the application here, and also get help. These are generally links to the official website of ProtonVPN-expect from one item called Settings. So let’s see what can be done here: General: You can configure ProtonVPN to run on device initialization to keep yourself safe at all times. This tab also allows you to test new functionality early, and you can also fine-tune the actions of the program. “2/2.1638.jpg” Connection: This is where you can choose from different protocols and you can decide whether ProtonVPN will be able to automatically connect to a server once it is run. This goes hand in hand with the preceding tab allowing you to always use VPN protection. “2/2.1639.jpg” All ProtonVPN is one of the highly polished VPNs with UI design. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced users since it allows a lot of customization. Every option is nicely explained and helpful tooltips are available around the UI of the application.

Media Streaming Torrenting Support

In addition to supporting P2P traffic, ProtonVPN actually will unblock Netflix USA Hulu and Prime Video. BBC iPlayer is beyond the reach of that VPN. Our Rating: 7/10. One of VPNs ‘ most popular uses is its unblocking capability on the website. This is particularly interesting when streaming platforms so let’s see which services can be unblocked and used through ProtonVPN. Media Streaming Torrenting Support Netflix US YES BBC iPlayer NO Amazon Prime Video YES YES You’re well protected when it comes to accessing the US version of Netflix. ProtonVPN offers plenty of servers that can make this happen. As you probably know, from any other regional version of this streaming platform, Netflix USA has the largest media library so you can use your subscription in the best possible way. Additionally you can also unblock Netflix’s UK and German versions. Also, ProtonVPN can help you unblock Hulu and most of this works fine. Unblocking Hulu though is a notoriously tough thing to do so we can’t promise you’ll get the best performance possible. The same applies to mostly workable Amazon Prime Video. BBC iPlayer is the only popular service that’s out of reach for this VPN. Let’s not forget torrenting, either. ProtonVPN comes with a range of servers supporting traffic of this sort. More precisely, you will be able to use P2P servers found in Singapore Australia and the Netherlands in Switzerland Sweden. So if you are in any of these countries the chances are that you will get usable download speeds.

This VPN comes with the strongest kind of commercially available encryption. We are talking about AES-256 with 4096-bit RSA being the key exchange method, while SHA384 if used to authorize messages. All these numbers and names don’t have to worry about all you need to know is that AES-256 should keep your data encrypted in the best possible way. ProtonVPN decided to discontinue less secure VPN protocols and only focus on OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPsec. Both are called strong protocols with no known vulnerabilities. Depending on your platform of choice you’ll either get to use OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPsec and it really doesn’t matter which one you’ll end up with as both of these provide reliable performance. Testing of iOS devices with OpenVPN protocol. This option is currently available for those willing to enroll in a beta program which gives you the ability to switch between IKEv2/IPSec and OpenVPN. It should also be noted that ProtonVPN already brings those two protocols to Android phones.

When you sign up for a new account, ProtonVPN collects information such as your username email address and password, as you need it to log in and use the service itself. Then once you start using the application your timestamps will be collected. This seems a bit strange but the explanation here is that ProtonVPN protects you from brute-force attacks with passwords. Additionally this information will be overwritten every time you log in to the application so there’s nothing to worry about. There are also two interesting points to keep in mind. This VPN retains essential data (username email billing information) as noted in the Privacy Policy, which is deleted from their servers once you decide not to use this service anymore. And in terms of data sharing, ProtonVPN works to share data and provide support with their parent company (Proton Technologies AG Switzerland). This is because both ProtonVPN and ProtonMail use the same database for the user. Ultimately it is up to you whether or not you are going to believe in this company. We do not think it collects any personally identifiable data-and we also believe it plays fairly overall. It is also important to note that in April 2019 ProtonVPN’s Privacy Policy was updated removing some of the vague elements previously identified. Now this legal document is much more user friendly and fairly transparent.

“2/2.1642.jpg” We also carried out a DNS leak test to ensure that data leaks are not active. As you can see from the image above ProtonVPN employs effective DNS leak protection measures. Web-based third-parties can only see what ProtonVPN shows them and this includes your country of origin virtual IP address hostname and more.

“2/2.1643.jpg” Speed Quality ProtonVPN is one of the fastest VPNs right now. On average, it slowed us down by just 9.8 per cent that’s why we give it the highest score. Our Score: “10/10. Now we’re going to tell you what kind of performance you can expect from this VPN. We’re going to do this by connecting to several ProtonVPN servers and we’re going to run a series of speed tests. Let’s get started.” 2/2.1644.jpg “Figure 1 Our baseline data.” 2/2.1645.jpg “Figure 2 The performance or a nearby ProtonVPN server.2/2.1637.jpg Click on the hamburger button at the top-left corner to dive a bit deeper into this application.

So far we have tested a great number of VPNs and this is one of the best results. Highly recommended if you care about maintaining your Web connection speed.

“2/2.1647.jpg” Since live chat is missing, all you can do is open a support ticket and hope somebody will get back to you within 48 hours. Our Rating: 5/10. VPNs are incredibly complex applications which rely on a large server network. Hence you should not be surprised if from time to time something goes wrong. And that’s why you should always go for a VPN that offers reliable customer support ready for timely resolution of your problems. So here are all of the ways ProtonVPN can help you. Guides to Install: It’s simple to install ProtonVPN. However, more advanced users will want this VPN to be installed on a router that will certainly require some technical knowledge. Thankfully ProtonVPN can support you by providing step-by-step, nicely written guides. Support Tickets: You can finally contact the firm by filling out a form on its website. Explain in detail your problem, and expect a response within 48 hours. Unfortunately ProtonVPN on its website does not offer live-chat which is clearly a downside. We think you will manage to find the answer to your technical problems but be prepared to wait a while. We have to say that from such a reputable VPN service, we had expected something better.

Pricing

ProtonVPN could benefit from a reduction of its price. It offers a lot of value, but there it is still one of the most expensive VPNs. Our Rating: 5/10. As noted earlier we have tested ProtonVPN’s ‘ Plus ‘ version. This one simultaneously supports up to 5 devices, and also includes premium servers (needed to unblock streaming platforms). So let’s look at how much you need to pay for this service by going to the ‘ Plus ‘ version there. Total Price per month Savings 20 percent ProtonVPN isn’t the most affordable VPN out there as you can see. If you decide to subscribe to ProtonVPN, you should subscribe to its annual plan which saves you 20%. In other words, the price goes down from $10.00 to $8.00 a month, which is even more expensive than what VPNs offer (including top-rated ones). Again it is important for you to know that we’ve been talking about ProtonVPN’s ‘ Plus ‘ version. If you need something more affordable, you can go to the subscription plan for its ‘ Basic ‘ version’Visionary, which includes ProtonMail-the encrypted email client of the company. It comes at a very high price however ($30 a month). You can finally pay through PayPal and the credit cards. And you should also be aware that you will get a money-back guarantee for 30 days.

“2/2.1649.jpg” ProtonVPN can be easily recommended to a wide group of users. It safeguards your private data in a reliable way and it does not seem to log any of your data. You can also count on unblocking and streaming Netflix USA in the highest possible resolution, since ProtonVPN is incredibly fast. So surely there is plenty to like about this VPN. PROS: Easy to install Polished UI design Unblocks Netflix Strong encryption Capable VPN protocols Incredibly fast performance. CONS: Relatively small server network High priced support for semi-helpful clients. You’re intrigued by what ProtonVPN has to offer? Well we are sure that you are. So if you need additional information or if you want to subscribe directly to ProtonVPN make sure you use the link provided. We’re sure a lot of you will be perfectly happy with your choice.
