Proton VPN5.1.9

Proton VPN encrypts a Windows computer’s internet connection while it is active, helping protect browsing activity from unwanted observation. It sends the connection through encrypted tunnels, making it harder for an attacker to eavesdrop on traffic in transit. The service is a Swiss VPN designed to deliver high-speed access while adding privacy safeguards beyond those of an ordinary VPN.

Users can turn it on before browsing over an untrusted connection or whenever they want their online traffic protected by encryption. Routing traffic through the VPN can also help users reach websites that may be blocked in their country. Its additional security features make it useful for people who place particular importance on privacy while browsing.

Proton AG develops the software, which is categorized under Security & Privacy and distributed under an open-source license. The current release is version 5.1.9, built for x64 systems. It is intended for Windows users who want encrypted browsing traffic and an option for reaching otherwise restricted websites.
