While we have largely been able to overcome censorship and attacks, it’s imperative that we remain one step ahead of those who would seek to spy on people and restrict the freedom of information. Over the years, certain countries have made attempts (generally unsuccessful) to block access to Proton services. Our easy-to-use, encrypted services - Proton Mail (new window), Proton VPN (new window), Proton Calendar (in beta), and Proton Drive (in development) - make it much harder to spy on you, steal your information, or misuse your private data.īecause of this, some actors (new window) want to (new window) threaten (new window) our mission (new window). Our mission is to make it easy for anyone to keep their personal information safe. Why Proton requires anti-censorship measures In this article, we’ll describe some important information about alternative routing, and why this is an important step forward in our mission to provide privacy and security to all. Note, using Proton VPN is also an effective way to bypass many forms of censorship, and Proton VPN is available for all Proton users (just go to /download (new window), install the app for your device, and log in with your Proton account). This feature is unfortunately not available for our websites, but it will work on all mobile and desktop apps (both Proton Mail and Proton VPN). And it only kicks in if we think you’re being censored.
This system works automatically to let you use the Proton apps (new window). In this post, we discuss the measures Proton is taking to ensure that our services are highly available, even in countries with censorship.įirst, you don’t have to configure any settings to take advantage of alternative routing, which routes network connections to Proton servers differently to evade certain types of blocks. (This article has been updated from the original feature announcement to reflect the fact that alternative routing is now in full operation.)Īlternative routing is an anti-censorship system that can help you access our website if your government, ISP, or network administrator has blocked Proton services.
