Proton VPN offers a major discount

Proton VPN is currently providing a 75% discount on its Proton VPN Plus subscription as part of a Black Friday promotion. The deal is valid for more than 24 months and aims to attract users looking for enhanced online privacy and security.

Subscription features and compatibility

The Proton VPN Plus subscription allows for ten simultaneous connections and includes access to advanced features. It offers applications for major operating systems like Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, along with browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox.

Server network and performance claims

The service provides access to more than 20,000 servers across over 140 countries. Proton claims that its servers, which can handle up to 10 Gbit/s, may allow data rates to increase by up to 400% under certain conditions, particularly when connecting to distant servers.

Privacy and security features

Proton VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between a device and its server, preventing others on the same network from reading protected data. It also hides the device’s public IP address, and websites see only the IP address of the VPN server. The service does not log user activity and operates under Swiss law, known for strong data privacy protections.

Additional privacy tools

The service includes NetShield, which blocks malicious domains, ads, and trackers, and a kill switch that disconnects the internet if the VPN drops. Secure Core enhances privacy further by routing traffic through multiple servers.

Cost and promotional details

The discounted subscription costs 2.49 euros per month instead of 9.99 euros for the standard monthly plan. Alternatively, users can pay 59.76 euros upfront for a two-year commitment. The promotion runs until November 30, 2026.

User satisfaction and testing

Proton VPN received a score of 9.7 out of 10 in a test by Clubic, a French tech review site. The service also includes a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, allowing users to cancel without penalty if they are not satisfied.
