Proton VPN is completely overhauling its core architecture to keep its spot as a strong contender for the title of best VPN.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-2041dc81-26b1-438f-b17c-801a68606498-2\">&#8220;The future of privacy protection isn&#8217;t just stronger encryption or faster protocols,&#8221; Antonio Cesarano, Product Lead at Proton VPN, explained in a blog post. &#8220;It&#8217;s making security simple enough that anyone can use it every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-s-coming-next-for-proton-vpn-users-3\">What&#8217;s coming next for Proton VPN users?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Proton)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-67071df3-4c78-4c1a-a8eb-7d62d99bde1d\">The centerpiece of the new roadmap is a <strong>brand-new client-side <\/strong><strong>WireGuard<\/strong><strong> codebase<\/strong>. This experimental core is designed to build faster apps, deliver best-in-class anti-censorship capabilities, and lay the vital groundwork for post-quantum encryption.<\/p>\n<p>The new architecture is already available for beta testing on Android and Windows, with releases planned for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Linux over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Linux VPN users are in for a major upgrade, too. Proton is <strong>redesigning its Linux GUI app<\/strong> to align with the sleek look and feel found on other platforms. Crucially, the update will introduce long-awaited support for the Stealth protocol, which masks VPN traffic to help users bypass aggressive network blocks and deeply restrictive firewalls.<\/p>\n<p>Windows users aren&#8217;t being left behind, either. Following a successful rollout on mobile, Proton will soon bring its <strong>granular connection preferences to desktop<\/strong>.
