Our journey started at CERN, where the internet was first developed and where our founding team first crossed paths. In 2014, marking the 25th anniversary of the web, we established Proton Mail with the aim of restoring online privacy for millions of individuals across the globe. The idea for Proton VPN emerged as a means to enhance the security of activists and journalists who rely on Proton Mail.
Since our inception as a crowdfunded project, Proton Mail and Proton VPN have relied heavily on community support and input in their development. Our unwavering dedication to safeguarding online security and privacy is evident in our extensive track record. We have taken on governments, educated the public, and provided training to journalists, all in our ongoing effort to remain at the forefront of this fight.
As scientists, engineers, and developers, we have a vested interest in the Internet’s future. Our areas of expertise include security and Internet technologies, which we are utilizing for the betterment of society. If you share these passions and skills, we welcome your input and would be delighted to engage with you.
