Proton Turns 11 and They’re Celebrating With a 70% Off Deal on a Top-Rated VPN

There are few things more difficult in this world than securing a five-star “Exemplary” rating from the nitpicky testers at PC Labs. That perfect score indicates a product that does absolutely everything right for a fair price, with no real drawbacks. It comes along once in a blue moon, and right now there’s no virtual private network service on Earth that’s done it for us quite like Proton VPN.

Created by Swiss company Proton AG, which is celebrating its 11th year in business right now, Proton VPN is on sale for a whopping 70% off for the next two weeks. This drops its monthly cost to $2.99 for a two-year contract. This deal is only good from May 14 to May 28, so sign up fast for savings.

We gave Proton VPN all of the flowers in our review — the only five-star rating given to a virtual private network in PCMag’s history, along with an Editors’ Choice award. It does absolutely everything you’d want a proxy server to do, along with tons of stuff you probably didn’t even know you wanted. Senior security analyst Chris Stobing said that Proton VPN was “setting the standard for the VPN industry” with its consistent service upgrades, increasing the number of servers available to over 12,000 in 117 countries, allowing for up to 10 devices to use a single account simultaneously, and advanced encryption. Multiple connection protocols including IKEv2, OpenVPN, WireGuard, WireGuard over TCP, and Stealth (WireGuard over TLS) give you plenty of options.

Proton’s open-source philosophy is also a huge asset to the company. By making their apps transparent and offering bug bounties, they stay ahead of security threats. Regular audits from independent European company Securitum confirm that they are scrupulous in protecting customer data. Their strict no-logs policy ensures they don’t save any of your browsing information. If you’re on the fence about needing a VPN, you should read our guide to picking the best one to learn about how much one can do for you.

Get your Proton VPN subscription going before May 24 to lock in the $2.99 deal for two years. Don’t feel like committing? A one-year contract is only $3.59 a month. Proton also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.
