Proton VPN

8.2 /10

Audited, open-source, genuinely strong no-logs. But the account is tied to an email, and privacy-seeking sign-ups can hit a verification step.

Independently audited — questions

Does an audit prove a VPN keeps no logs?

It provides strong independent evidence at a point in time — an outside firm inspects the systems and reports. It is not a permanent guarantee, which is why we also weigh real-world tests (like raids and court cases) and re-review over time.
