Someone using Secure Core, however, would appear to be coming from one of the three countries to anyone monitoring the network. Law enforcement can do this while compelling the VPN service to remain silent about what’s happening. In the U.S., for example, it’s possible for law enforcement to monitor a VPN network from behind the scenes to reveal the identities of its users. Then once your web activity is hidden in one of these countries, you can go into less privacy respecting countries. The idea with Secure Core is to go through a server in a more privacy-respecting country first. Secure Core routes all traffic through servers in either Iceland, Sweden, or Switzerland before hitting your country of choice, such as the U.S. The first is Secure Core, which is kind of like a double-hop VPN but one focused on strategic security and privacy. There are also three tiles that can be activated with ProtonVPN’s added features. The first lists all 55 country options ProtonVPN supports.
Here we have two tabs: Countries and Profiles. The company also regularly undergoes third-party auditing, and all of its apps are open source. ProtonVPN’s Secure Core servers are not diskless, but they are fully encrypted.
It does, however, log in aggregate “the geographic distribution of the service’s users.” It uses this information to maintain quality access to its service and mitigate any connection or access issues in a specific country. It also doesn’t block any type of device, protocol, or application, and it doesn’t throttle internet connection speeds. ProtonVPN’s privacy policy says it’s a no-logs VPN with no tracking of user traffic or online activity, IP addresses, or session lengths. ProtonVPN has 55 country options to choose from and more than 1,200 servers. When we conducted our initial review there were no options for other protocols including WireGuard however, the company has since introduced WireGuard integration. ProtonVPN runs on OpenVPN with data encryption handled by AES-256, authentication users HMAC with SHA-256, and the handshake is based on 2048-bit RSA.
