If you're after a VPN with serious privacy chops, Proton VPN might be the best VPN for you. Built by the same team behind Proton Mail (the encrypted email service used by journalists, activists and your most paranoid pal), the company has the receipts to back up its reputation.
While NordVPN still leads the pack overall, and Surfshark is dirt-cheap, Proton VPN is the one I’d recommend to anyone who actually cares about their data. Proton VPN’s whole mission is transparency, with open-source apps, regular independent audits and a strict no-logs policy, but it’s also become a much better VPN since I first reviewed it in 2021.
