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
proton’s having a full on glowup
Is that sustainable?
Why wouldn’t out be? Proton has always had a free tier, this just makes it easier for free users to connect to a vpn
Proton’s free plan is supported by people with paid plans
Proton has offered free plans for all its products for the last 10 years.
If it wasn’t sustainable, I think we’d have noticed by now.
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.

Huge fan of Proton and their services. I use the VPN and two Proton email accounts. Very helpful, easy to use, and the free versions aren’t horrible garbage.
How so? Like Mullvad does it?
You use an account but it’s virtually anonymous. You can buy a sort of prepaid card that you activate. You never have to give personal information.
That’s different than what Proton is doing which is to connect you to their free tier without any authentication.
You basically get a prepaid number that you can use as an identifier for the clients and what you pay for to charge time onto it. Said number is valid for I think 5 devices and can be charged through various ways - you can even send them cash via mail.
