TL;DR: ProtonVPN is available for free, with 24 servers in three countries, a single connection, decent speeds, and a strict no-logging policy. If you like what you see, you can upgrade from £2.76 per month — 33% off list price.


Picking the right VPN for you and your life is not an easy task, especially when you consider that most of the leading services require you to commit for at least a year. ProtonVPN breaks this trend by offering a truly free service without limitations on data usage.

ProtonVPN's free version has no data or speed limits, no adverts, and does not log your online activity. It's also protected by Swiss privacy laws, so you can rest assured that all of your personal information and data is secure. Users get access to 24 servers in three countries, with one connection and decent speeds. It's probably the best free VPN on offer.

If you are interested in upgrading, you can secure a two-year plan for £2.76 per month. Why upgrade when you can subscribe for free? An upgrade provides access to more servers, better speeds, and more simultaneous connections. It's something to consider if you have a lot of devices or you're likely to do a lot of streaming.

Subscribe to ProtonVPN for free in 2022.
