The TechRadar team placed ProtonVPN in the top five on its list of The Best Free VPNs of 2019. In their review, they said:

“…this is an impressive provider with a strict no logging policy, and you can sign up with nothing more than your email address. There aren’t even any ads on the website, let alone the client.”

“But clearly, with its unlimited data allowance, this is one freebie which is well worth considering.”

MakeUseOf.com

MakeUseOf ran a review of the VPN options that are free and do not have a data limit. Simply meeting these criteria already limited the field to three services, and Ben Stegner, the MakeUseOf reviewer concluded:

“Of these three choices, ProtonVPN is the clear victor if you must use a free VPN.”

He also stated that someone should consider ProtonVPN:



“If you can’t pay for a VPN but still want one that respects your privacy.”

VPNpro.com

ProtonVPN was named the Best VPN for Free 2018 by the team at VPNpro. They stated simply:

“ProtonVPN is already the best choice for those who want a free VPN.”

Their acclaim extends to our security features:

“As the offspring of ProtonMail, this Swiss VPN does security the way very few services do. Aside from the expected super-tough encryption (AES-256, 2048-bit handshake), ProtonVPN has no confirmed leaking issues, a great kill switch, and some really cool bonus features. One of these is Secure Core – an interesting take on the multi-hop VPN.”

ProtonVPN won Best Free VPN for 2019 for the second consecutive year from ProPrivacy. The review said:

“ProtonVPN is a very polished, privacy-focused VPN service that is secure and very fast when connected to a nearby sever.”

“ProtonVPN is an excellent and highly competitive [free] VPN service. You are limited to just three server locations, but with no data limits and speed results that are better than most paid-for services.”
