&gt; We’re happy to be the first VPN provider to open source apps on all platforms (Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS) and undergo an independent security audit.<p>I believe Mullvad did that first. Both security audit and providing an open source application for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.<p>Of course, it&#x27;s nice and all, a step in right direction, but they shouldn&#x27;t claim they were first when they weren&#x27;t.

Client apps are open sourced, doesn&#x27;t mention the server code.<p>Great step in the right direction in any case.

I think they were planning to do this but accelerated efforts when PIA was acquired. I&#x27;ll keep using PIA until my subscription runs out but will more than likely switch to ProtonVPN at that point.

I&#x27;m a light VPN user, and I&#x27;ve been pretty happy with ProtonVPN&#x27;s cheapest non-free plan. I will probably renew when my annual subscription is set to expire.

This is a very good move on their part, and they have a great no-logs policy, but they do still restrict p2p in some countries which is a bummer for some potential users.

Proton unfortunately has poor speeds where I live or I would consider them. It comes with proton email too...

Ah shucks, seems we&#x27;re all so excited we&#x27;ve crushed them. (web servers timing out)

This isn&#x27;t revolutionary, or did we forget that OpenVPN (and when it&#x27;s easier to use: Wireguard) is a thing?<p>Well-audited, open-source, cross-platform, and most VPN providers offer an .ovpn config.
