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.

Why use a VPN?

--------------

### Dodge annoying ads and protect against malware

**NetShield Ad-blocker** is our signature DNS filtering feature that prevents targeted ads, privacy-invading trackers, or damaging malware from affecting your device.

### 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.

### 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.

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.

### Accessible to all

We believe that everyone has the right to online freedom, which is why we offer [Proton VPN for free](/free-vpn) alongside our premium VPN plans.

### Open by design

All Proton services are [open source](/blog/open-source) so anyone can check our code. We also regularly commission [independent audits](/blog/no-logs-audit) to confirm the claims we make.

### Community comes first

We have distributed over $2.7M in grants to mission-led projects and recently created the [Proton Foundation(new window)](https://proton.me/foundation) to ensure we never lose sight of our vision.
