Unlike most “free trial” VPNs that quietly start charging you, Proton VPN’s Free plan is a permanent, no-cost tier – Proton describes it as “free forever” with no data or time limits and no adverts.

Simply create a free Proton Account and connect via the Proton VPN app or browser extension on one device, with access to free servers in several countries.

Paid Plus plans add more device slots, faster servers and 110+ country locations, but the Free tier itself never expires and never requires payment details.
