Use Proton’s Android VPN client through its direct distribution channel.
Before you download
This selection is the direct Proton APK, not its F-Droid variant or a desktop installer. Downloading the client does not activate a paid plan.
Get started
Check your account plan and read Android’s VPN connection request on your device. A VPN does not remove the need to protect accounts or assess websites.
Keep your data when updating
Keep recovery methods for your Proton account available privately. Do not upload recovery codes, credentials or diagnostic reports containing private details here.
Use the original distribution channel where possible. Compare the package and edition before replacing an installation. A different signature or an older version can prevent an update; do not uninstall or clear data as the first troubleshooting step.
If installation or playback does not work
If a connection fails, check the account, network and publisher help. Reinstalling does not necessarily resolve a network restriction or account problem.
Check the Android requirements and architecture shown above. Open the downloaded APK on your own Android device, read its notices and keep system protections enabled. Review any temporary browser installation permission afterward.
Proton VPN FAQs
Does the APK include Proton VPN Plus?
No. Features depend on your account and plan. The original APK does not unlock a paid subscription.
Is the direct APK interchangeable with the F-Droid build?
Do not assume so. Check the package, signing channel and publisher instructions before switching.
How do I choose the correct APK?
Check the minimum Android version and the architecture supported by the installed operating system. ARM64 means arm64-v8a; ARM32 means armeabi-v7a. A 64-bit chip does not prove that the installed system supports ARM64. Use the file picker, or the publisher’s store if available.
Can I update an installation from another source?
Check its package, edition and source first. A different signing key can prevent an update. Back up important data and consult the publisher before switching channels; do not uninstall or erase data as the first troubleshooting step.
