How to use Proton VPN Windows app

Step 1

Create an account

To start using Proton VPN on Windows, sign up for free or buy a paid Proton VPN Plus account.

With our paid plans, you can use Proton VPN on up to 10 devices at the same time, connect to over 20,000 high-speed servers in over 140 countries, and access premium features.

Step 2

Download Proton VPN and log in

Download and install the correct Windows distribution for your device.

Once the app is installed on your Windows device, run it and log in with your Proton VPN username and password. Proton Mail users already have a Proton VPN account and can sign in with existing Proton credentials.

Step 3

Connect to a server

You can automatically connect to the fastest VPN server for your location or choose to connect to any specific server that is available on your plan.

The data traveling between your device and the VPN server is encrypted, meaning:
  • Your internet service provider cannot monitor your activity.
  • Websites see the IP address of the VPN server you are using.
You can check your IP address whenever you are connected to find your VPN server address.

Security made easy
