Proton VPN Plus Review

Proton VPN Plus comes from Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail, and its feature list leans heavily toward privacy. It has an audited no-logs policy, regular independent third-party audits, a reported SOC 2 Type 2 infrastructure audit and open-source apps. Those are the trust signals privacy-conscious buyers should look for in a VPN, and Proton has more of them than most.

The Plus plan is not only for privacy purists. Streaming unblocking, P2P support with port forwarding, NetShield ad and tracker blocking, and up to 10 simultaneous connections make it a reasonable fit for households and power users. It suits anyone who wants one subscription to cover security, streaming and torrenting.

The case for Proton VPN Plus rests on trust and features, and both look strong based on the information we have.

• Privacy and transparency: Swiss jurisdiction, audited no-logs claims, open-source apps and an infrastructure audit together make a stronger accountability story than most rivals can offer.
• Advanced tools: Secure Core multi-hop routing adds protection for high-risk users. The Stealth protocol helps where VPN traffic is restricted. NetShield blocks ads and trackers at the DNS level.
• Everyday usefulness: It reportedly unblocks Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and BBC iPlayer, allows P2P with port forwarding, and supports 10 devices. That covers most household needs.
• Performance: One tester measured 698 Mbps on WireGuard, which is promising. However, that figure comes from a single source, so we treat it as indicative rather than definitive.

There are real gaps in what we can assess. We have no pricing information, so we cannot say whether Plus is good value against competitors. The size of the server network is reported inconsistently across sources, ranging from 127+ to 191 locations, though every figure points to a very large network. The 30-day money-back guarantee is also reported by only one source. Our 4.3 rating reflects an excellent privacy and feature profile, held back by missing price data and a few single-source claims.
