rewrite me this text:In May 2022, Proton revamped its entire product line with a new pastel purple look and a different pricing structure. If you were paying for Proton VPN (or Proton Mail) prior to the change, you get an upgrade and can keep your existing rate. For existing Proton VPN users, this is a particularly sweet deal as the new VPN plans now grant you access to premium Proton Mail features, space on the cloud-based Proton Drive, and access to the Proton Calendar scheduling tool. We're especially happy to see that Proton VPN continues to offer an excellent free VPN subscription tier. This includes just three VPN server locations (Japan, Netherlands, and the US) and only allows one device to be connected at a time. You do have to create an account with Proton VPN to access its free tier, but you also get access to the rest of the Proton product line (Drive, Calendar, Mail). Neither Mullvad nor IVPN require that you create an account or give them any information for even paid subscriptions. Despite the fact that you must create an account to use it, the free version of Proton VPN is uniquely valuable because it does not limit the amount of data you can use. TunnelBear VPN's free offering limits you to 500MB of secured traffic per month, Hotspot Shield tops out at 500MB per day, and KeepSolid VPN Lite places no data restrictions on its free version but does limit users to a single server. Other free VPNs pile on other restrictions. Because of all that, we recommend Proton VPN over all the other free VPNs we've tested. This is where things get a little confusing. You can opt for a Mail Plus subscription and get premium Proton Mail features and stick with just the free VPN offering, or the premium VPN Plus and stick with free Proton Mail features. The VPN Plus option isn't even listed on the new proton.me site, but the Mail Plus package is. On the Proton VPN page, you can toggle between the Mail and VPN Plus options, but it's easy to miss. For this review, we used the $9.99-per-month VPN Plus account ($71.88 per year, $119.76 every two years), which is slightly cheaper than it used to be. Compared to the 39 other VPN services we've tested, the VPN Plus is only slightly more expensive than the $9.90 per month and $67.37 per year average we've seen. Proton VPN beats out a lot of competitors that offer similar features, such as Editors' Choice winner NordVPN. However, some less feature-rich services do beat Proton VPN on price. Mullvad VPN has an excellent reputation for privacy and a strong collection of features and only costs 5 euros ($5.34 USD at time of writing). Kaspersky Secure Connection, on the other hand, is just $29.99 per year. Despite the savings, we caution against starting with a long-term VPN subscription. Instead, get a short-term or free plan and see how the VPN works in your home and with the sites and services you need before making a high-cost commitment. The VPN Plus tier lets you access the VPN servers in Proton VPN's network that are reserved for paying customers. Unlike the free servers, these are less crowded, which may provide better service. VPN Plus subscribers can use up to 10 devices simultaneously, which is double Proton's previous offering. However, some VPN companies have done away with device limitations entirely. Among the services we've tested, these include: Avira Phantom VPN, Encrypt.me VPN, Ghostery Midnight, IPVanish VPN, Surfshark VPN, and Windscribe VPN. VPN Plus subscribers also get access to multi-hop Secure Core servers (more on this below) and the Tor anonymization network via VPN—both rare features. You don't need to pay or use a VPN to access Tor, but it's nice to have. Proton Calendar sharing unlocks at this tier and you can send and receive unlimited messages via Proton Mail. Proton Drive remains capped at 1GB of storage, however. The highest tier for Proton's products is Proton Unlimited. For VPN customers, this doesn't add any features but does cost $11.99 per month, $119.88 per year, or $191.76 every two years. Proton Unlimited does improve the rest of the product lineup, even over the Mail Plus tier. At the highest tier, Proton Mail is boosted to 15 email aliases and three custom domains. Proton Drive is maxed out at 500GB of storage, but Proton Calendar doesn't get any bumps. Not everything made the transition to Proton's new incarnation. The Proton VPN Basic $5 per month plan is no more, which deprives customers of a low-cost middle option. Proton VPN also used to offer custom add-ons, such as additional simultaneous connections. The company says(Opens in a new window) anyone with those plan tweaks will keep them, but anyone wanting them now will have to switch to a Proton VPN for Business account. Anyone previously subscribing at the now-defunct Visionary tier(Opens in a new window) will be boosted to a whopping 3TB of Proton Drive storage, as well as receiving other sweeteners. Proton VPN subscriptions can be purchased via major credit card or PayPal. You can make bitcoin payments, but you must create an account first. Proton VPN says it will also accept cash sent directly to its headquarters, an option we've only seen with Editors' Choice winners Mullvad and IVPN. VPNs are valuable tools for improving your privacy online, but they can't protect against all threats. We also recommend everyone use a password manager, activate multi-factor authentication wherever it's available, and install an antivirus app.
