Only users on the Visionary and Lifetime plans can access ProtonVPN for now. There is also a batch of very limited (and expensive) ProtonMail Lifetime accounts. Though ProtonMail offers a free tier, it comes with restrictions, and those wishing to upgrade to ProtonMail Plus (€5.00 / month or €48.00 / year) or ProtonMail Visionary (€30.00 / month or €288.00 / year) can access more features.

But now ProtonMail is looking to throw its hat into the proverbial VPN ring. While there is no shortage of VPN apps for desktop and mobile, ProtonMail is looking to address “many of the security shortcomings which impact existing VPN services,” including those that use pre-shared keys or insecure protocols and encryption. Indeed, a recent study found that the majority of Android VPN apps can’t be trusted with a user’s security.
