Proton VPN now available without creating an account (Android) - eviltoast

from the team:


Hi everyone,

As you may know, Proton VPN has repeatedly proven effective anti-censorship tools, allowing people to find trustworthy news sources and access obstructed content.

To make Proton VPN’s anti-censorship features even more accessible, we made it possible to log in to the Android app without creating an account. Now you can log in and use the Proton VPN Android app for free without entering any credentials (i.e. you can “continue as guest”):

Together with the constant expansion of our infrastructure (over 6000 servers in close to 100 countries), we believe that this will help our privacy-first VPN service reach those who need it the most more efficiently than ever.

Thank you for your support,

The Proton Team

      Thank you!

      I hesitate to look these things up myself because not only is it a heck of a rabbit hole, sometimes those holes are actually tricksty gophers. So I appreciate it. :)

        @Xanis You’re welcome!

        Both Proton Pass and Bitwarden are ad-free, secure, and very nearly have the full features of the paid versions.

        For most users, the free versions are more than enough.

        One limitation is that the free versions don’t allow 2FA TOTPs to be generated. Personally, I’d never use that feature as it removes a barrier to being hacked *IF* the password manager was ever compromised. Instead, the use of a separate Authenticator app for those codes is probably safer!
