If that weren't embedded enough, ProtonVPN's got a cache of 40 privately-owned servers it uses for its Secure Core feature, a type of multihop VPN feature. The Swiss' international privacy cachet is carried far past its storied banking system and into the fundamental rights to personal data privacy embedded in its constitution. It's not a formal EU or EEA member state and, as such, is often exempt from GDPR data retention laws. Switzerland is a formal member of neither the Five Eyes, Nine Eyes nor 14 Eyes international intelligence-sharing agreements. There's immediate appeal in the idea of a VPN service with a jurisdiction safely inside the legendary neutrality of the Swiss border.

Includes kill switch, IPv6 and DNS leak protection.

Encryption: AES-256-GCM, RSA-2096, Perfect Forward Secrecy.

In our tests, ProtonVPN only caused about 9% of internet speed loss. They were followed by Australian servers at 73Mbps, which beat out those in Paris, Berlin (a combined average of about 65Mbps) and Singapore's 61Mbps. UK servers came in at a close second place with about 85Mbps, topping out at 206Mbps.

US servers ranked fastest overall among the tests, with average download speeds of 92Mbps compared to our overall non-VPN average speeds of 83Mbps. Overall peak speed was reached on US servers at 214Mbps in a testing round with non-VPN speeds in the 70s. That last bit could hamper you if you're looking to use a VPN for gaming, but overall speeds were high enough that you should have no problem functionally torrenting via one of their four peer-to-peer servers. And ping times (how long it takes a bit of data to make a round trip from you to your destination and back) were up across the five regions I tested, suggesting some potential latency issues. I noticed some larger-than-normal disparities in upload and download speeds. The time required to connect to a VPN server was longer than some of the other services I've tested. The sticking point on speeds was three-fold, however. Like Surfshark, ProtonVPN pulled off these kinds of speeds with a relatively smaller VPN server fleet than its larger competitors. On speed testing, that puts it well ahead of our last tests for Surfshark and NordVPN (which averaged 27% speed loss and 32% speed loss, respectively).

ProtonVPN's base speeds sent it blazing past most of our roster of tested services and into second place behind ExpressVPN, which clocked a speed loss of less than 2% the last time it was tested. In the case of ProtonVPN, I saw only 9.6% speed loss compared to average speeds clocked without a VPN. That's one reason we're more interested in testing the amount of speed lost (which for most VPNs is typically half or more) across both high-speed and slower connection types, and in using tools like to even out the playing field. And with any speed test, results are going to rely on your local infrastructure, with hyperfast internet service yielding higher speed test results.

Internet speeds in the US vary widely by state and provider. We ran our speed tests over the course of three days with dynamic IP addresses, using both wireless and Ethernet connections - one location offered slower broadband speeds and the other offered higher speeds via fiber optic internet.

Number of server locations: 55 countries.

While its cost is higher than other top VPN competitors, I recommend ProtonVPN for its commitment to transparency and its high-security product standards. But do you want to send your internet traffic through a cache of privately owned servers hidden in an underground Swiss bunker? Yes. It's hard not to be impressed by how far Proton has gone to shore up security and privacy in both its ProtonVPN and ProtonMail service.
