Proton VPN is a VPN service from Proton AG with a free plan that has no data or time limits, shows no ads and follows a no-logs policy. The free plan covers one device; apps are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and more.
Many free VPNs pay their bills with tight data caps or advertising. Proton VPN’s free plan avoids both: Proton says it has no data or time limits and never shows ads, and the same no-logs policy applies as on paid plans.
What the free plan gives you
- Unlimited data: No monthly cap and no time limit.
- One device: A single connection at a time.
- Kill Switch: Cuts the internet connection if the VPN drops, so traffic does not leak.
- Stealth protocol: Helps the VPN connect on networks that try to block VPN traffic.
- No-logs policy: Proton states that it does not log what you do online.
What you give up
Streaming support, peer-to-peer (P2P) downloads, the NetShield ad and malware blocker, Secure Core routing and the fastest speeds are listed as Proton VPN Plus features, as are connections on up to 10 devices. The free plan also has access to a smaller part of the server network than Plus.
Installing Proton VPN
- The Download button opens Proton’s official download page; choose your platform.
- Install the app and sign in, or create a free Proton account.
- Connect to a free server from the app.
Apps are offered for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad, Chromebook, Android TV and Fire TV, plus extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Using a VPN does not make illegal activity legal, and some services restrict VPN connections in their terms.
Pros
- No data cap or ads on the free plan
- Kill Switch and Stealth protocol included
- Apps for nearly every platform
Cons
- Only one device on the free plan
- No streaming or P2P support without Plus
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Proton VPN free plan have a data limit?
No. Proton says the free plan has no data or time limits. The main restrictions are one device and fewer servers and features than Plus.
Can I use Proton VPN Free for streaming or torrents?
Proton lists streaming support and P2P as Plus features, so they are not part of the free plan.
