Overview

Proton VPN is a Swiss service from the Proton Mail team with a strong privacy focus, open-source apps and an unlimited free tier (rare among trustworthy VPNs).

Proton VPN is a Swiss service from the Proton Mail team, built around privacy as a principle rather than a marketing line. It's one of the only serious VPNs with an honest free tier and no data cap — handy for trying it without paying. Open-source apps, independent audits, Secure Core technology (routing through hardened data centres) and Tor over VPN support make it a choice for journalists and activists. The Swiss jurisdiction with strong privacy laws is a further argument; the only downsides are that paid plans aren't cheap and streaming on the free tier is limited.
