#PROTONMAIL VPN FOR MAC FREE#
This is why we are committed to providing a free version of ProtonVPN. With ProtonVPN, we can ensure the accessibility of not only ProtonMail, but all of the world’s digital knowledge and information. Earlier this year, we took the first steps to improve ProtonMail’s availability under censorship by launching an Onion site. We are also aware that as ProtonMail becomes a stronger force for digital freedom, the censorship of ProtonMail in certain countries is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Instead, the Internet is a highly restricted and censored place, constantly under surveillance, where making a wrong move could lead to imprisonment or worse. Last but not least, for over 1.5 billion people around the world, the Internet does not live up to its promise of freedom of information. Fast forward to today, and attempts are being made to dismantle net neutrality in the US, and several European governments are now calling for increased online surveillance. Back in April of this year, Obama-era FTC rules designed to protect the privacy of internet browsing history were rolled back. The importance of VPNs for online security and privacy is increasing day by day. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows users to browse the web without being tracked, bypass online censorship blocks, and also increases security by passing all internet traffic through a strongly encrypted tunnel. That’s why we have decided to build ProtonVPN, to better protect the activists, journalists, and individuals who are currently using ProtonMail to secure their online lives. However, when considering the scope of all that we do online, email is just a small piece of the online world. Since then millions of people around the world have embraced our vision, and thanks to your support (and the numerous donations along the way), email is much safer today than it was several years ago. In 2014, on the 25th anniversary of the web, our efforts culminated with the release of ProtonMail, the world’s first end-to-end encrypted email service. In certain countries, the Internet has even become a tool for oppression and control, instead of the beacon of hope and freedom it once was.īack in 2013, we embarked on a journey to change this, by building the tools that could make privacy and security the default online. While the Internet has done a great deal of good, over the course of this digital revolution, we have also lost control over our data, our most intimate secrets, and ultimately our privacy. Since then, the Internet has met or even exceeded its promise in certain areas, but this has not come without a cost to society. Indeed, that was the vision that inspired Tim Berners-Lee to create the World Wide Web at CERN in 1989.
#PROTONMAIL VPN FOR MAC FULL#
Back then, we had an ambitious vision to build an Internet that was free and could continue to reach its full potential as a tool for social progress. It has been a long and exciting journey to get here since our team first met at CERN in 2013. And we really mean everyone, because consistent with our mission to make privacy and security accessible to every single person in the world, we’re also releasing ProtonVPN as a free VPN service. You can now directly get ProtonVPN by visiting Īfter more than 1 year of development, and four months of beta testing by over 10’000 members of the ProtonMail community, we’re finally making ProtonVPN available to everyone. ProtonVPN is officially out of beta and we are allowing open signups for the first time. We’re happy to announce that as of 12:00PM Geneva time today, ProtonVPN is now available to the general public.
