✔ PERFECT FORWARD SECRECY - Your encrypted traffic cannot be captured and decrypted later.

✔ MULTI-PROTOCOL SUPPORT - ProtonVPN supports secure VPN protocols: WireGuard and OpenVPN.

✔ DNS LEAK PROTECTION - We encrypt your DNS to ensure your browsing activity cannot be exposed through DNS queries.

✔ ALWAYS-ON VPN/KILL SWITCH - Protect your IP address from being leaked through accidental disconnects.

✔ FULL DISK ENCRYPTION - Our VPN servers are fully encrypted to protect your data.

✔ ANONYMOUS - You do not need to share any personal data to use ProtonVPN.

✔ SPLIT TUNNELING SUPPORT - This advanced feature allows you to select what traffic goes through the VPN tunnel.

✔ BYPASS BLOCKING - Smart protocol selection automatically overcomes VPN bans and unblocks censored content.
