ProtonVPN is a VPN service developed and operated by ProtonMail — an encrypted email service based in Switzerland.
ProtonVPN is operated as a separate legal entity from ProtonMail. This is due to the fact VPNs are often banned in certain countries. For example, ProtonMail can continue operating in China, whereas ProtonVPN is blocked there.
I recommend this VPN service if you want a VPN focusing on privacy.
ProtonVPN passes VPN traffic through a “Secure Core network” in privacy-friendly countries like Switzerland and Iceland. A compromised VPN server will not reveal your true IP address.
ProtonVPN also supports Perfect Forward Secrecy. Even if your encryption key is discovered, your encrypted traffic cannot be captured and decrypted later.

It is a good vpn service but, can’t works in China.
