![]() Authoritarian governments the world over are routinely censoring and blocking international news outlets, limiting their citizens’ access to information and shutting down dissent. “Thanks to its secure core architecture, high-strength, end-to-end encryption and other advanced security features, Proton VPN provides users with a robust and reliable way to circumvent Internet censorship around the world.”Īndy Yen, Founder and CEO of Proton, said: “Free access to information is under attack on a scale that we haven’t seen before. “With Proton, we have another invaluable tool to work against Internet censorship that is already in high use in censored markets,” says Ingo Mannteufel, Head of IT and Cybersecurity at DW. Conversely, DW will promote the VPN through its offerings to its own users – especially those in markets experiencing Internet censorship. ![]() ![]() This will provide them with direct, unlimited, high-speed access to the DW website including all livestreaming and video-on-demand content. The DW logo will be visible to Proton users when they choose the DW sponsored server. “And the fact that they handle their users’ data according to very high security standards is a definite plus, enabling us to recommend to our users to work with Proton as well.” “We are very happy to be partnering with a company that is just as dedicated as we at DW are to protecting the online privacy of activists, journalists and others while providing them with free, unrestricted access to the open Internet,” said Guido Baumhauer, Managing Director of Distribution, Marketing and Technology at DW. The company is based in Switzerland and is subject to some of the world’s strictest data privacy laws, according to DW, adding that due to Switzerland’s special status as a neutral nation, no other governments can force Proton to divulge any information, either. Proton is one of the only virtual private network (VPN) providers with a “no logs policy”, according to DW, adding that this means Proton does not track or record the online activity of their users and does not disclose this information to third parties. German international service Deutsche Welle (DW) partners with Swiss virtual private network (VPN) provider Proton to offer its audience a secure way to access its content and the free, open Internet.
