ProtonMail & Proton VPN
ProtonMail offers a compelling email service solution. As an encrypted email provider based in Switzerland, ProtonMail places a strong emphasis on protecting user privacy and data security. Their end-to-end encryption ensures that only the intended recipients can access and read email messages, safeguarding communication from prying eyes, including ProtonMail itself. This means that user emails are secure from surveillance, data mining, and unauthorized access.
Moreover, ProtonMail operates under strict Swiss data protection laws, which provide strong legal safeguards for user privacy. By storing data in Swiss servers, ProtonMail benefits from robust privacy regulations that prioritize individual rights and data security. This commitment to privacy is further reinforced by their zero-access architecture, where ProtonMail cannot access or decrypt user emails, ensuring that personal information remains confidential and protected.
By choosing ProtonMail as their email service provider, privacy-conscious users can have peace of mind knowing that their communications are shielded from surveillance, data harvesting, and unauthorized access. ProtonMail's focus on end-to-end encryption and strict adherence to Swiss data protection laws make it an attractive option for individuals seeking a secure and privacy-centric email experience.
ProtonMail
Proton Mail is a private email service that uses open source, independently audited end-to-end encryption and zero-access encryption to secure your communications. This protects against data breaches and ensures no one (not even Proton) can access your inbox. Only you can read your messages.
Proton believes your data belongs to you. That’s why we use end-to-end encryption and zero-access encryption to ensure that only you can read your emails. We cannot read or give anyone else access to your emails. And this encryption happens automatically — no special software or tech skills required.
Benefits of using ProtonMail
Zero-Access Encryption
Proton Mail’s zero-access architecture means we can never access your emails. Emails from other service providers are instantly encrypted on our servers using your public key, meaning we do not have the technical ability to decrypt your messages.
​
With Proton Mail, emails are encrypted at all times, so we can never access your messages. The content of your emails is encrypted on your device before being sent to our servers, meaning only you and your intended recipient can decrypt it.
You can also use our Password-protected Emails feature to quickly send end-to-end encrypted emails to any email address, not just Proton Mail accounts.
​
End-to-End Encryption
Encrypted Contacts
Proton Contacts uses zero-access encryption and digital signatures to ensure no one can tamper with your contacts or see any details you add, including your contact's phone number or address.
This lets you add and organize all your contacts' details in one convenient location while knowing that no one, not even Proton, can access that information but you.
Password Protected Emails (PPE)
The easiest way to send end-to-end encrypted emails is if both the sender and recipient use Proton Mail. However, you can use our Password-protected Emails feature to send secure emails to people who don’t use Proton Mail.
Simply select a password in the composer before you click send, and your email will be inaccessible to both Proton and your recipient’s email provider.
​
2FA w/ Hardware Security Keys
Keep your Proton Account safe. You can use hardware security keys to verify your identity via two-factor authentication (2FA). We support YubiKey and other U2F/FIDO2-compliant keys. Due to their physical nature, security keys are one of the best ways to protect your account, as online attackers cannot get their hands on them. No more reaching for your phone to open an Authenticator app either.
​
​
Enhanced Tracking Protection
(ETP)
Your emails belong to you, which is why Proton Mail lets you read them without letting advertisers watch you, build a profile on you, or serve you ads based on your mail activity. Our web app automatically blocks tracking pixels and hides your IP address, so you can read your emails without exposing any personal information.
​
Hardware Level Security
(HLS)
​We have invested heavily in owning and controlling our own server hardware at several locations within Switzerland, so your data never goes to the cloud. Our data centers are located at highly secure sites that require biometric access. This provides an extra layer of protection by ensuring your encrypted emails are not easily accessible to third parties. On a system level, our servers utilize fully encrypted hard disks with multiple password layers, preserving data security even if our hardware is seized.
Built-in PGP Support
Proton Mail users are more secure when they can use end-to-end encryption to communicate with everyone, not just other Proton Mail users. This is why we offer PGP support, which automatically encrypts messages using the public key of your recipient. In fact, you can use Proton Mail to replace your existing PGP client.
​
Address Verification
&
Key Pinning
Proton Mail provides a seamless email experience in part because we manage encryption keys behind the scenes. Address verification and key pinning perform independent client-side verification of encryption keys. This optional control over key management protects against man-in-the-middle attacks and makes it so that you don’t have to blindly trust us.
​
