how's it going everybody welcome back and some of you guys have been understandably
asking about proton vpn and whether or not it is trustworthy so quick video just to address that
that is definitely a fair question as proton vpn
does have a free version and typically free vpns are not exactly as trustworthy as they may claim
all vpns claim a no locks policy and proton vpn is no different however in this case
all proton vpn apps are open source and audited and that is definitely very nice to see you can
find all the source code on the github website and audit reports to follow and that is just
excellent even some of the premium vpns that i've seen don't even have that level of auditing so
if we take a look at one of the audits here uh it is definitely it's available by the way for
the public and looking at it here does proton vpn monitor or log information about which servers
websites the user is connecting to by the way if you're not familiar with what an independent audit
is an independent audit is when a third-party company that has nothing to do with the vpn
uh provider they come over and audit the company and kind of security check everything about the
network infrastructure or the privacy policy and they make a report and publish it making sure uh
or to confirm to the users and everybody else of course with the permission of the vpn provider
that everything is up to standard whether it's the server infrastructure or the no logs policy
and just confirmation that they do uphold their no logs policy and in this case proton vpn does
not monitor or log any information this is part of the conclusion by the way proton vpn
design monitor or log any information about which services website servers the user is connecting to
one exception is detection and blocking of bittorrent network traffic on free servers
because the free version of proton vpn does not allow for peer-to-peer activity you have
to subscribe to the premium uh version of proton vpn in order to torrent okay
the bittorrent traffic is being detected by the ndpi library and if the connection is recognized
as bittorrent traffic it will be automatically dropped okay so if we go down here does proton vpn
apply the same privacy protection to all servers in all regions and to all subscription tiers
proton vpn applies the same privacy policy to all servers in all regions to all subscription tiers
the only difference between the premium and free servers is that on free subscription a bittorrent
traffic is disabled to minimize performance issues but in our opinion it is not affecting the privacy
of the proton vpn users all right so that's pretty much it you guys can go ahead and read the entire
um report it is available for the public and you can even read all the reports here they
all result in quite the good standing and with great conclusions so if you guys are interested
