Credit: Proton VPN/Lifehacker Table of Contents Proton VPN’s latest promotion offers its two-year VPN Plus plan for $2.99 per month (down from $9.99), a 70% discount that saves you $168 over the introductory term. While the monthly figure is useful for comparison, this is not a month-to-month subscription: Proton charges the full $71.76 when you sign up—though you do get a 30-day money-back guarantee, giving you time to check how it performs with your devices, internet connection, and streaming services. After the initial 24 months, the plan renews at $83.88 per year, or $6.99 per month.For everyday use, you can open the app and let Proton pick a server, or choose from more than 140 countries when you need a particular location. That could help you access services from home while traveling, although streaming platforms may still block VPN connections. The subscription also covers 10 devices at once (so there’s room for your phone, laptop, and TV without switching between them), with apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and supported TV devices, including Fire TV. Whatever device you use, there’s no bandwidth cap to keep track of, though the speed depends on your connection and which of Proton’s 20,000-plus servers you choose—its VPN Accelerator may help, but the advertised improvement of up to 400% applies to VPN connections, and it shouldn’t be read as a promise to quadruple your broadband speed.Beyond changing your apparent location, privacy is the stronger reason to consider Proton, whose apps are open-source and independently audited, with a published external audit of its no-logs policy offering more accountability than a blanket promise of anonymity—but those checks, while useful, won’t stop a website from recognizing you when you sign in. For extra protection (at the possible expense of speed), you can also enable Secure Core, which sends traffic through an additional server in places such as Switzerland or Iceland. Meanwhile, NetShield blocks known ad, tracking, and malware domains, helping prevent some unwanted resources from loading without guaranteeing ad-free streaming or protection against every threat. Taken together, all these features make the subscription, at this introductory price, worth considering if you use VPN regularly across several devices. What do you think so far?
