<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Independently Audited</span></h5>

<h5><span class="badge badge-success">610+ Servers</span></h5>

<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Independently Audited</span></h5>
<p>As of January 2020 ProtonVPN has undergone an independent audit by SEC Consult. SEC Consult found some medium and low risk vulnerabilities in ProtonVPN's Windows, Android, and iOS applications, all of which were "properly fixed" by ProtonVPN before the reports were published. None of the issues identified would have provided an attacker remote access to a user's device or traffic. You can view individual reports for each platform at <a href="https://protonvpn.com/blog/open-source/">protonvpn.com</a>.
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Open Source Clients</span></h5>
<p>ProtonVPN provides the source code for their desktop and mobile clients in their <a href="https://github.com/ProtonVPN">GitHub organization</a>.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Accepts Bitcoin</span></h5>
<p>ProtonVPN does technically accept Bitcoin payments; however, you either need to have an existing account, or contact their support team in advance to register with Bitcoin.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Mobile Clients</span></h5>
<p>In addition to providing standard OpenVPN configuration files, ProtonVPN has mobile clients for iOS or Android allowing for easy connections to their servers.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-warning">No Port Forwarding</span></h5>
<p>ProtonVPN does not currently support remote port forwarding, which may impact some applications. Especially Peer-to-Peer applications like Torrent clients.</p>
<h5><span class="badge badge-info">Extra Functionality</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 <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">the official Tor Browser</a> for this purpose.</p>
