<p>The Mullvad VPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot. The Mullvad website is also accessible via Tor at <a href="http://xcln5hkbriyklr6n.onion/">xcln5hkbriyklr6n.onion</a>.</p>

<h2>ProtonVPN <span class="badge badge-info">Free</span> <span class="badge badge-info">USD $96/year</span></h2>
<p><strong>ProtonVPN</strong> is a strong contender in the VPN space, and they have been in operation since <strong>2016</strong>. ProtonVPN is based in <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-ch"></span> Switzerland and offers a limited free pricing tier, as well as premium options. Unfortunately due to its lack of an independent security audit it does not meet the complete criteria for recommendation, see our notes below.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-danger">Not Audited</span></h5>
<p>ProtonVPN has not undergone a security audit by an independent third party, and therefore cannot be strongly recommended at this time. We have still chosen to list it on this page with the assumption that an audit will be published soon:</p>
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p class="mb-0">We are currently undergoing a complete security audit of our VPN applications by a reputable Swiss security company. The results of the audit will be summarized in a public report for cases like this.</p>
<footer class="blockquote-footer">Marc Loebekken, ProtonVPN AG Legal counsel</footer>
</blockquote>
<p>We will reevaluate this listing at the end of Q1 2020 or when the aforementioned report has been published, whichever is sooner.

<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Independently Audited</span></h5>
<p>As of January 2020 <a href="https://protonvpn.com/blog/open-source/">all ProtonVPN apps are now open source and audited.</a>
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">610+ Servers</span></h5>
<p>ProtonVPN has 610 servers in 44 countries at the time of writing this page. Typically the more servers a provider offers, the better: With hundreds of servers in operation, you are far more likely to find a fast connection and a server geographically closest to you.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Accepts Bitcoin</span></h5>

<p>The ProtonVPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot. ProtonVPN also offers "Tor" servers allowing you to easily connect to onion sites, but we still strongly recommend using the official Tor Browser for this purpose.</p>
