Founded by CERN scientists, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, dedicated to providing the highest level of privacy protection for global users
ProtonVPN was founded in 2017 by scientists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Our mission is to create a more private and secure internet where everyone can freely access information without fear of surveillance or tracking.
Switzerland has the world's strictest privacy protection laws, enabling us to provide users with the highest level of data protection. We strictly enforce a no-logs policy, not recording any user network activities, ensuring your online privacy is completely protected.
ProtonVPN was born from deep concern about internet privacy. During their work at CERN, our founding team witnessed the internet's shift from open and free to surveillance and censorship. They decided to take action, creating a complete suite of privacy protection tools that allow ordinary users to enjoy scientist-level privacy protection.
Starting with ProtonMail encrypted email service, we gradually built a complete product ecosystem including ProtonVPN, ProtonDrive cloud storage, and ProtonCalendar. All products follow the same privacy principles: end-to-end encryption, open-source code, no logging.
Today, Proton serves over 50 million users globally, becoming a leader in privacy protection. We continue to innovate, constantly improving our products to provide users with better privacy protection experiences.
