Those used to the stripped-back aesthetic of rivals such as ExpressVPN may take a moment to warm up to the large interface of Proton VPN, but despite its relatively hefty footprint we think it exudes a certain techy charm.

With a decent spread of over 1,700 servers in 63 countries, and apps for a good range of devices, Proton VPN is speedy and suitable for just about every user – and its excellent streaming performance means it's not just for privacy fanatics, either. However, unlike many security-focused services, the Swiss provider doesn't sacrifice anything in terms of day-to-day usability, and that rare combination alongside the best free VPN available today makes for a seriously attractive product.

Privacy and security are priorities when searching for the best VPN, and keeping you safe online is Proton VPN's core mission.
