In a 2025 recap, Proton VPN has announced a suite of new features designed to make its service more private, productive, and convenient for users across all devices.
A key privacy upgrade enhances the NetShield Ad-blocker to now block nearly all known phishing websites, providing stronger protection against online scams. In a move to defeat censorship, iPhone and iPad users can now use the VPN instantly without creating an account via a new “Continue as guest” option. The service has also expanded its global server network to new locations like Cuba, Guatemala, and Mongolia.
