Proton VPN has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for spring and summer, prioritizing enhanced speed, security, and user privacy.

Product lead Antonio Cesarano emphasized that the roadmap's core objective is to simplify privacy tools and enhance reliability. Furthermore, Proton VPN is introducing expanded administrative controls for business clients, including web filtering and always-on VPN policies, to better manage employee access and security within organizations.
