What is ProtonVPN and how does it work?

ProtonVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) service provider operated by the Swiss company Proton Technologies AG, the entity behind the well-known secure email service ProtonMail. It works by establishing a secure and encrypted connection between the user's device and ProtonVPN's servers, ensuring that internet traffic is routed through these servers. This process hides the user's IP address, encrypts data, and allows for anonymous browsing by making the traffic appear to originate from the VPN server's location instead of the user's actual location. ProtonVPN leverages strong encryption protocols to protect the data transmitted over the network, thus providing privacy and security for its users, preventing eavesdropping from third parties, and overcoming geo-restrictions and censorship.
