Proton VPN’s free plan now provides access to servers in eight countries

proton vpn, My favorite VPN service nowhas expanded its free plan in response to Demand for free VPNs is growing. The general manager of Proton also announced via tweet In French And then In Norwegianfree users can now access servers in Canada and Norway, joining existing sites in the US, Netherlands, Japan, Poland, Romania and Singapore. Free servers in all eight countries are now visible on the Proton VPN app.

As covered in my Proton VPN ReviewFree plan users cannot select a location for themselves. Instead, the app chooses the fastest free location available whenever you connect. So, if you are looking forward to using Proton for free to unblock Netflix in Norway, take your time.

However, having more sites in the free plan still means good news for free users. When a VPN has limited free servers, they become crowded, slowing down the speed for everyone. Adding new locations anywhere can open up much needed breathing room. This also means that users who live in Canada or Northern Europe have access to more free servers nearby – and the closer a VPN server is to you physically, the faster its speeds.

I’m glad to see top-tier VPN providers stepping up to the plate as the world demands more free VPN access. Launching ExpressVPN for EventVPN That’s another good sign. If you need a free VPN for any reason, whether it’s for privacy, entertainment, or something else, it’s always best to use the free version of the service that’s backed by paid subscriptions — otherwise you risk becoming the product yourself.
