Proton is a Swiss-based VPN provider known for its commitment to privacy. Just last month, the company made it safer to share sensitive information through its password manager. And now they have introduced some changes to fight censorship.

In a press release sent to Lifewire, the company detailed the changes that include new servers for countries most at risk of censorship, an anti-censorship protocol for the Windows app, and a new way for Android users to hide the VPN app on their devices.
Proton has added local VPN servers in 12 countries. Selected based on threats such as authoritarian rule and diminishing civil liberties, they include Afghanistan, Bahrain, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Yemen. These new servers allow people in these areas to access the internet freely.
In addition, Windows users can now use the company's exclusive Stealth protocol for increased protection. Proton calls it an "undetectable" protocol designed to make it harder for governments and ISPs to see that a VPN is being used, reducing the odds that traffic will be blocked. The Stealth protocol is also available on other platforms.
