This is one of the reasons why we usually advocate large server networks as an advantage in a VPN review.īut Proton VPN has been brutally honest in their blog post admitting that they “cannot guarantee the absolute security of our servers in high-risk countries” such as China.
This is necessary however as it is often countries with questionable privacy laws that are enforcing the most draconian censorship programmes and which users want to be able to access. By establishing a server in a country, Proton VPN is not endorsing that countries domestic laws, but they are making part of their network subject to those laws. They explain that every country has different privacy laws and some are much better than others. Their latest blog post is explaining why they haven’t expanded this network further yet, despite claiming to have users in more than 180 different countries already. This is a reasonable-sized network for what is a relatively young VPN provider, but a glance down the list shows that most of these servers are in stable, western democracies. Proton VPN currently offers a server network of 372 servers in 31 different countries around the world.
The advice it offers is worth sharing as it applies to users of all VPNs, not just those who have opted for Proton VPN. A new blogpost by Proton VPN has done a great job of highlighting the risks associated with connecting to VPN servers in high-risk countries.
