Our encrypted tools empower users in over 150 countries to reclaim their freedom of expression and online privacy. It is brought to you by the team of scientists from CERN and MIT that developed ProtonMail - the world’s largest encrypted email service used by millions worldwide, including journalists, activists and everyday people who are concerned about their privacy. ProtonVPN is a highly secure and encrypted virtual private network (VPN). “This is one of those things where we really can have a very deep, substantial and lasting impact on freedom of information, especially in the current landscape where privacy is constantly under attack.ProtonVPN - Providing Secure Internet Anywhere “If this model is effective, I can see this as being an example for dozens of other media outlets around the world,” he said. Guido Baumhauer, DW’s head of distribution, marketing and technology, hailed the partnership, praising Proton for its dedication to “protecting the online privacy of activists, journalists and others while providing them with free, unrestricted access to the open internet.”Īhead of the announcement, Yen told AFP that the company hoped other media partnerships will follow. Proton has also rolled out alternative routing and stealth technology to render VPN traffic invisible to sensors. VPNs typically scramble traffic in an encrypted tunnel and mask users’ IP addresses, ensuring private communication and anonymity and access to otherwise blocked sites. Proton, perhaps best known for its encrypted email service, has increasingly drawn the ire of governments in countries like Russia and Iran with its VPN services that help users skirt such online restrictions.įollowing Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine a year ago, the company says it saw demand for its VPNs surge by 9,000 percent in Russia. “Authoritarian governments the world over are routinely censoring and blocking international news outlets, limiting their citizens’ access to information and shutting down dissent.” “Free access to information is under attack on a scale that we haven’t seen before,” he said in the statement. Proton chief Andy Yen said the partnership was sorely needed.
