In addition to your custom connection, we have predefined a couple of profiles for you to choose from. VPN connection profiles are currently available in the following Proton VPN apps:

If you regularly use the same custom connection settings, you can save them as a VPN connection profile to make it easy to connect using those settings.

You can also customize how you connect to our service, choosing a specific country or server within that country (including a Tor or P2P server), changing the VPN protocol, or using our Secure Core VPN feature. This automatically connects you to the fastest server for your location, using the fastest VPN protocol available. But unlike typical multi-hop implementations, Secure Core is a one-click affair where you choose the exit country and have minimal options for the first connection.The quickest and easiest way to connect to our service is using the Quick Connect button available in Proton VPN apps. Secure Core is a multi-hop VPN connection where it uses two VPN connections before exposing you to the open internet. The Secure Core feature is for Plus and Visionary subscribers only, for example. ProtonVPN offers a number of extras depending on which level of service you have. Below the map you’ll see connection information such as session duration, up and down bandwidth volumes and speeds, as well as a bandwidth graph. Once you’ve connected, the map transforms showing a line to your virtual location and the home symbol at the top center of the map. If you see a “P” in a square next to a server that means its available only to premium subscribers there are also TOR servers, and the symbol with two arrows indicates the server supports P2P file sharing. You can also hover over the circle to find out the capacity measured as a percentage. There’s a circle with a green indicator for each server showing its current capacity. This will show you all the server options for that location. For a deep dive into the country-specific servers, click on the downward-facing arrow to the right of each country in the list.
