Why people pick Proton VPN

  • 15,000+ servers in 120+ countries on current official pages
  • Swiss base, open-source apps, and public audits add useful transparency
  • Stealth protocol helps when VPN traffic gets blocked
  • A strong fit if privacy matters more to you than flashy extras

Trade-offs to consider

  • The interface and plan lineup can feel more technical than NordVPN or Surfshark
  • Streaming performance is good but not usually the category leader
  • Premium tiers can feel expensive if you mainly want a simple everyday VPN
