Overview

• General manager David Peterson announced the additions via posts on X on September 30 for Canada and October 3 for Norway.
• The free plan now offers access to servers in eight countries: the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Canada and Norway.
• Free users cannot pick a specific location, as the app connects automatically to the fastest available free server at the time of connection.
• The new free locations are visible in the Proton VPN app and are expected to reduce crowding and improve speeds, especially for users near Canada and northern Europe.
• Proton reiterates that the free tier has no data caps, no ads and no logging, with those claims backed by independent audits and paid subscriptions covering the costs.
