This file is not deployed during install. If the configurationfile doesn't exist or contains not valid values the app tries to save default configurationused in the app.To monitor Http traffic of Proton VPN GUI app using Fiddler or another tool, you might need to disableTLS certificate pinning. To disable TLS certificate pinning the configuration file with empty"TlsPinningConfig" value should be provided: ... "TlsPinningConfig": {} ...Proton VPN ServiceThe Windows service "ProtonVPN Service" is installed into"C:\Program Files\Proton\VPN" directory by default. Serviceexecutable is "ProtonVPNService.exe". The service is started and stopped by the Proton VPNGUI app.During installation, the service is configured to be started and stopped by the unprivilegedinteractive users.Service executable supports installation and uninstallation of service. Passing "install" oncommand line to "ProtonVPNService.exe" installs the service, passing "uninstall" - uninstalls.This installation method doesn't configure service security settings.Service is responsible for interaction with OpenVPN, managing Windows firewall and Split Tunneldriver.Service logs are saved to "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ProtonVPN\Logs" directory.OpenVPNThe Proton VPN uses OpenVPN for maintaining a VPN tunnel. The new OpenVPN process is started on eachconnect to a VPN and closed on disconnect. Communication with the OpenVPN process is maintained throughTCP management interface.OpenVPN is installed into "C:\Program Files\Proton\VPN\Resources"directory by default. The OpenVPN config file is static, it doesn't change for each VPN server.The OpenVPN is built from official source by applying a patch to support Proton VPN specificTAP adapter. See win-openvpn repository.TAP adapterTAP adapter "TAP-ProtonVPN Windows Adapter V9" is used by the OpenVPN.The TAP adapter is built from official source by applying a patch to have Proton VPN specificname and identification. See win-tap-adapter repository.Callout driverThe kernel-mode driver "ProtonVPN Callout Driver" is used for redirecting socket bindings whenSplit Tunnel is enabled and preventing DNS leak by sending SERVFAIL response packet for DNSrequests which were made from other interfaces than Proton VPN uses.The driver is installed as a system service. It is started when connecting to VPN and stoppedwhen disconnecting by Proton VPN Service.Folder structureThe main repository folder contains the .NET Visual Studio solution of theProton VPN Windows app named ProtonVPN.Folder "ci"Contains continuous integration scripts.Folder "packages"It contains NuGet packages of the ProtonVPN solution.Folder "Setup"This folder contains Advanced Installer setup project files, resources included in

Connecté autorisé à la fois.Proton VPN fournit des données illimitées sur son application Windows gratuite. C’est un geste généreux et rare dans le domaine des VPN gratuits (et sûrs). Vous n’avez pas à vous inquiéter de dépasser votre limite de données ou d’avoir à attendre le mois prochain pour vous reconnecter. Vous pouvez simplement laisser Proton VPN connecté sur votre appareil Windows en permanence.Lors de mes tests, j’ai constaté que les vitesses de téléchargement de Proton VPN ne sont pas les plus lentes (comme celles de Hotspot Shield et hide.me) : mais elles n’étaient pas si rapides non plus. En moyenne, ma vitesse a chuté d’environ 65 %, passant de 115 Mb/s à 40 Mb/s. Heureusement, cette baisse ne m’a pas trop impacté et je n’ai subi que quelques légers lags sur les sites d’actualités.Vous n’avez accès qu’à 3 serveurs gratuits aux États-Unis, aux Pays-Bas et au Japon. Dès que vous vous connectez à un serveur, grâce à la politique stricte de non-conservation des logs de Proton VPN, aucune de vos activités de navigation n’est suivie, stockée ou partagée avec des tiers. Comme mesure de sécurité supplémentaire, je recommande d’activer le kill switch (bouton d’arrêt d’urgence) pour éviter toute fuite de données accidentelle lorsque vous changez de serveur (ou si la connexion saute de manière inattendue).De plus, chaque serveur est sécurisé avec un cryptage AES-256 bits et Perfect Forward Secrecy : cela signifie que la clé de cryptage change constamment pour réduire le risque que vos données soient compromises. Il existe également une protection intégrée contre les fuites IP et DNS. J’ai effectué plusieurs tests sur IPLeak.net et chaque serveur a passé mes tests, sans aucune fuite.Malheureusement, Proton VPN bloque le streaming et le téléchargement de torrents sur l’abonnement gratuit pour vous inciter à passer à un abonnement. Après quelques essais et erreurs, j’ai découvert que le serveur américain n° 8 de Proton VPN pouvait accéder à Netflix, mais le plus souvent, j’ai rencontré des erreurs de proxy pour le streaming.L’abonnement gratuit de Proton VPN accède à Netflix après plusieurs tentatives de connexionsSi vous souhaitez rester connecté(e) à Proton VPN en permanence, mais que vous ne souhaitez pas subir de blocage en faisant du streaming ou du téléchargement de torrents, vous pouvez configurer le split tunneling sur l’application Windows. Cela vous permet de rediriger vos sites de streaming préférés ou vos clients torrent via votre connexion Internet habituelle (au lieu du VPN).Tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour vous inscrire pour créer un compte Proton VPN gratuit sur Windows est une adresse email, ce qui facilite la connexion immédiate.4. Hotspot Shield – Idéal pour la protection Windows sur les réseaux Wi-Fi publics avec 15 Go gratuits par moisPrincipales caractéristiques :L’application VPN fonctionne sur PC Windows, ordinateur portable, tablette et téléphone (toutes les versions).15 Go de données mensuelles gratuites avec une limite quotidienne de 500 Mo.Connexion à 1 serveur américain virtuel.Cryptage AES-256 bits, kill switch (bouton d’arrêt d’urgence), protection contre les fuites et certaines publicités.Assistance clientèle disponible uniquement par email.Un seul

You can see in our Mullvad VPN vs ExpressVPN comparison.Here are the protocols we used for all of the ExpressVPN vs Proton VPN speed tests:ExpressVPN – While ExpressVPN does not support WireGuard, they have released the new Lightway protocol, which is similar to WireGuard in performance, but not quite as fast. We used the Lightway protocol for speed tests with ExpressVPN.Proton VPN – Since we last updated this comparison, Proton VPN has implemented WireGuard support. Theoretically, this should greatly improve Proton VPN test results, especially since we also had Proton's “VPN Accelerator” feature activated. Here are the Proton VPN vs ExpressVPN speed tests:North American serversStep 1 in this testing was to check speeds using VPN servers in North America.Proton VPN with a Seattle server: 122 Mbps.ExpressVPN with a Seattle server: 196 Mbps.While Proton VPN did turn in better results than last time, neither service gave very impressive results for a 500 Mbps internet connection. Still, ExpressVPN takes the early lead over Proton VPN.Next, we tested servers in Los Angeles, California.Proton VPN with a Los Angeles server: 90 Mbps.Once again Proton VPN was faster than before, but the result is not very impressive.ExpressVPN with a Los Angeles server: 231 Mbps.Here we see that ExpressVPN is much faster than Proton VPN. It's clear that ExpressVPN has a big performance advantage over Proton VPN for servers in the United States. (We also found similar results with servers in Canada.)Servers in the United KingdomWe also ran some tests with servers in the United Kingdom. There are many VPN users in the UK and Europe, especially given that governments over there are doing their best to degrade digital privacy. So does ExpressVPN or Proton VPN perform better in the UK?Proton VPN with a UK server: 17 Mbps.Last time around, Proton VPN turned in a horrible result of 20 Mbps. This time it is even worse. Surely ExpressVPN can do better than this.ExpressVPN with a UK server: 235 Mbps.ExpressVPN blows Proton VPN away here again, with much faster speeds, over 10 times faster than Proton VPN. The following table summarizes our results:LocationExpressVPNProton VPNSeattle196 Mbps122 MbpsLos Angeles231 Mbps90 MbpsUnited Kingdom295 Mbps17 MbpsAverage speed240 Mbps76 MbpsSummary of speed test results.We can see that ExpressVPN is much faster than Proton VPN in all of the server locations we tested. In most of our tests, a VPN running WireGuard is faster than ExpressVPN running Lightway, yet in our testing, ExpressVPN
