You will find yourself being directed to TunnelBlick. Go to the page here which has the instructions. A native ProtonVPN client is in the works they say but for now Macs connect using OpenVPN and the TunnelBlick Client.įirst of all log in to your Proton account and set up your Open VPN log in, this will be different from your Proton account itself. Once you have Proton account you will be asked to verify it, then you can log in and download the necessary software. If you want to use both ProtonMail and ProtonVPN sign up for the ProtonMail first – it works better that way trust me. If you already have a ProtonMail account use that.
Go to the account creation page and choose the free plan. Installing as setting up ProtonVPN isn’t perhaps the most straightforward of jobs, especially for the free account but it is worthwhile (even if you just want to try the service out) and I am going to walk you through the set up. With each level adding more benefits and services. ProtonVPN has several levels available from the free level all the way up to the Visionary Account at $24 US pm via the Basic ($4 US pm) and Plus ($8 US pm). ProtonVPN comes to you courtesy of Proton Technologies AG who also provide the encrypted email service ProtonMail. What if you want to have more than 1500MB and you don’t want to, or can’t really afford a paid service? Let me introduce you to ProtonVPN.
They do a really great free offering too – and if your needs are occasional or light the 1500MB per month you can use on their service free may be perfectly adequate for you. A great service from a company prepared to put its reputation on the line and to offer itself up for inspection. I personally am a big fan of the TunnelBear. However when it comes to a VPN I beleive you need to know what it is you are getting for your money, or if you aren’t paying, for free. There are a lot of VPNs out there and there are a host of “great offers” tempting you to pay for this service or get that subscription.
