They claim to offer FREE account, but end up they ask you walk through a payment registration process. I have come to ProtonVPN through BRAVE advertisement. I have been tricked by them and they refuse to refund me back through their terms and conditions clauses. But if that's your concern I would recommend just doing research and asking around first.ĮDIT: One thing that does make all Proton products attractive is they're swiss based, therefor are protected by Swiss privacy laws, and very hard to get information from.Please stop PROTONVPN ( ) advertisement.
If you're looking for a "guaranteed" no logs company, I believe *very* recently, NordVPN passed a "privacy audit" that confirmed they don't keep any logs, and I believe I read an article how Russian authorities tried to get logs from ExpressVPN relating to an assassination, but came up empty handed. I don't use ProtonVPN, but I use Protonmail and I know they're incredibly reputable and secure as an email provider, but I personally have little knowledge about their VPN. It's irrelevant what someone is doing on their internet.Īs far as I would recommend posting around on pages like /r/VPN and just doing some research. Obviously a VPN will know your real location/IP address, etc, but if they advertise "no logs" then the form of saving logs in any way shape or form, on any type of hard drive/storage is a direct violation of that.Īlso the argument of "why care unless you're doing sketchy stuff" is the most asinine argument you could make.
If I'm paying a company for their service, they better give me the service exactly how it's advertised. Especially when virtually every damn VPN company plasters "We never keep any logs, EVER", across their website. And why would you be worried about logs anyway, uness your doing some skecthy stuff.
Logs are not the problem, people accessing logs is, its very hard not to log internet requests for VPN companies, easy over the long term but there will always be short term logs.
