from the team:

Hi everyone,

As you may know, Proton VPN has repeatedly proven effective anti-censorship tools, allowing people to find trustworthy news sources and access obstructed content.

To make Proton VPN’s anti-censorship features even more accessible, we made it possible to log in to the Android app without creating an account. Now you can log in and use the Proton VPN Android app for free without entering any credentials (i.e. you can “continue as guest”):

Together with the constant expansion of our infrastructure (over 6000 servers in close to 100 countries), we believe that this will help our privacy-first VPN service reach those who need it the most more efficiently than ever.

Thank you for your support,

The Proton Team

Yes. Because they’re either making a profit from your meta/data, or it’s a promotion that ends as myriads of “free” services did before it

I pay for it so you can leach off of it. Go ahead. If you feel they did a good job, then consider subscribing.

Yes, but how many people can these contributors support?

Proton has been offering free services for 10 years now. And they don’t profit from your data, so your assertion is false.

They recently changed to a nonprofit, so that’s not it

Nah, i used free tier for a year, realized I liked it and wanted to support them so signed up to the unlimited plan. Their hope is to draw more people in that way, rather than a paywall that turns off potential users
