About NetBird is an open-source Zero Trust Networking platform built by engineers for engineers. It radically simplifies deploying secure private networks using the high-performance WireGuard® protocol. Unlike traditional VPNs, NetBird creates decentralized, low-latency, high-throughput private networks with a single management console for identity-based access control. Integrating seamlessly with your IdP for SSO and MFA, it forms direct, encrypted peer-to-peer tunnels between devices, servers, and clouds - no central bottlenecks or single points of failure. Lightweight clients ensure scalability and privacy, with traffic never passing through management services. NetBird supports integrations with CrowdStrike, Intune, SentinelOne, pfSense, and more. Ideal for Zero Trust remote access, multi-cloud connectivity, dynamic posture checks, detailed auditing, and MSP multi-tenant management - all through one intuitive platform.		About Protect your business against damaging data breaches and easily comply with security frameworks like ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA. Our software-only virtual private network easily integrates with your existing infrastructure to provide a flexible and scalable way to protect your organization. With our VPN Professional plan, you can securely access your LAN and SaaS resources by assigning and segmenting permissions to private dedicated VPN servers, allowing employees to access only what they need. With all plans, your network traffic is secured using strong AES-256 or ChaCha20 encryption. You can further strengthen your organization's security with enforced 2FA and seamless login through single sign-on (SSO) with SCIM support for automated user provisioning. Proton VPN's high-speed server network is one of the largest in the world and is part of a suite of open source end-to-end encrypted products from the makers of Proton Mail that are designed to keep your business secure.

		Pros from Real Users Pros Worked well for the first few months. Offered several free IP sites around the world. Promises high level of security. Looks sharp on the desktop. None. I have a paid subscription to PVPN for two years and it was fine. I am also a subscriber to the email. • The interface is one of the best I've come across. It shows you a world map with all the possible locations to connect to. • The free version is the best among all VPNs I've tried. No advertisements, and no daily limit. • Excellent security and privacy. I can safely say that I haven't had to share personal information while using ProtonVPN. • Flexible subscription plans. It provides a seamless web browsing experience without compromising personal data. Browse internet without exposing identity. Reliable and fast servers with low ping. Cross-platform application availability. Free and open source Strict no logs policy High-speed connections (up to 10 Gbps) End to end encryption Available on smartphones and all desktop OS It offers the best free online privacy protection tool. ProtonVPN has multi-platform support, gives easy to secure and browse the internet. Encrypted VPN to secure from public wifi data stealing. Open Source Good connection speed No logs policy No bandwidth limitation even on free plan Available on all devices - Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS Free subscription available It makes very simple to bypass and access blocked content. In their privacy policy it tells that that never sell it save your data which is very rare in VPN service. No data loss or ping issue while playing online games. I got ProtonMail's VPN to better protect myself online, and I'm happy to say that unlike some of the other free VPN solutions out there, ProtonMail actually works! I tried looking up my IP address before and after, and the geolocation feature definitely works. I also like how ProtonMail, on Windows desktop at least, lets you decide if you want all your traffic routed through its servers or just some.
