Hello everyone

Today, we’re introducing a new version of the profiles feature on Android devices, allowing you to easily connect to specific VPN presets depending on your needs.

Using connection profiles on Android will allow you to define:

• The country/city /server you want to connect to
• The connection type (Standard, Secure Core, P2P)
• The VPN Protocol (OpenVPN, WireGuard, Stealth)
• Enable/disable Secure Core, NetShield, DNS filtering, and define NAT type.

We’re also introducing an Android-exclusive (for now) feature, allowing you to auto-launch a website upon connection. Simply toggle the feature on and define the URL, which will be opened via your device’s default browser upon connection.

You can learn more about this feature and connection profiles on Android here.

Please note that these updates only apply to users on paid plans.

We’ll be back later today with more updates, but until then, stay safe.

Hi everyone,

After Apple made it possible to support VPNs on Apple TV, you’ve made it clear that you would like to see support for Proton VPN.

After announcing that it would be available this summer and publishing the source code in September, it took a bit of time to get through Apple’s review process, but we’re happy to share that it is now available!

With Apple TV and Proton VPN, you can now stream your favorite shows, films, and sporting events on your big-screen TV in full 4K from over 100 servers via your Apple TV, no matter where you are: protonvpn.com/download-appletv

Proton VPN is now available on tvOS!

See our streaming guide for more information: https://protonvpn.com/support/streaming-guide/

Proton VPN is now available across the Apple ecosystem on iOS, macOS, iPadOS, Apple Vision Pro, and tvOS. Let us know what you think!

Hi everyone,

We've heard your requests and are excited to announce that FIDO2 support is now live for all Proton mobile apps! This means you can use security keys like YubiKey to add a layer of phishing-resistant protection to your account. Here’s how to add a security key to your account using the web app:

After adding security keys, you can use them to authenticate on mobile when signing into all Proton mobile apps.

Thank you to everyone who's been asking for this feature. We're always working to make Proton more secure and user-friendly, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us get there.

What's next?

Soon, we'll provide the option to disable the Authenticator App for those with registered security keys, so stay tuned!

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Hi everyone,

In Proton's 2024 user survey, it seems like AI usage among the Proton community has now exceeded 50% (it's at 54% to be exact). It's 72% if we also count people who are interested in using AI.

Rather than have people use tools like ChatGPT which are horrible for privacy, we're bridging the gap with Proton Scribe, a privacy-first writing assistant that is built into Proton Mail.

Proton Scribe allows you to generate email drafts based on a prompt and refine with options like shorten, proofread and formalize.

A privacy-first writing assistant

Proton Scribe is a privacy-first take on AI, meaning that it:

• Can be run locally, so your data never leaves your device.
• Does not log or save any of the prompts you input.
• Does not use any of your data for training purposes.
• Is open source, so anyone can inspect and trust the code.

Basically, it's the privacy-first AI tool that we wish existed, but doesn't exist, so we built it ourselves. Scribe is not a partnership with a third-party AI firm, it's developed, run and operated directly by us, based off of open source technologies.

Available now for Visionary, Lifetime, and Business plans

Proton Scribe is available as a paid add-on for business plans, and teams can try it for free. It's also included for free to all of our legacy Proton Visionary and Lifetime plan subscribers. Learn more about Proton Scribe on our blog: https://proton.me/blog/proton-scribe-writing-assistant

As always, if you have thoughts and comments, let us know.
