ProtonMail provider launches ProtonVPN

“In the past year, we have seen more and more challenges against Internet freedom,” says ProtonMail Co-Founder Dr. Andy Yen, “now more than ever, we need robust tools for defending privacy, security, and freedom online.”

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows users to browse the web without being tracked, bypass online censorship blocks, and also increases security by passing all internet traffic through a strongly encrypted tunnel. In order to make this technology more accessible, the ProtonVPN provide a free version of the service.

“The best way to ensure that encryption and privacy rights are not encroached upon is to get the tools into the hands of the public as soon as possible and widely distributing them,” says Yen, “This is why, as with ProtonMail, we’re committed to making a free version of ProtonVPN available to the world.”

Existing ProtonMail users with paid plans are eligible for a -20% Bundle Discount.
