ProtonVPN Features

Professional-grade privacy features engineered for maximum security.

Complete Feature Overview

Stealth Protocol

Disguises VPN traffic as regular HTTPS to bypass deep packet inspection in China and other high-censorship environments, ensuring reliable connections anywhere.

Secure Core

Routes your traffic through multiple servers in privacy-haven countries (Switzerland, Iceland, Sweden) before exiting, protecting your identity even if the exit server is compromised.

Kill Switch

Blocks all internet traffic if the VPN connection drops unexpectedly, preventing your real IP address from being exposed during reconnection.

Split Tunneling

Choose which apps or websites route through the VPN and which connect directly. Perfect for accessing local services while keeping sensitive traffic protected.

NetShield Ad Blocker

DNS-level blocking of ads, trackers, and malware — active at the VPN level before anything reaches your device. No browser extension required.

Tor over VPN

Route traffic through the Tor network for an extra layer of anonymity. ProtonVPN's Tor integration is seamless — no separate Tor Browser configuration needed.
