Proton VPN is expanding its Spring/Summer 2026 roadmap with faster performance, stronger security, and more servers to meet rising censorship and verification challenges, signaling a continued focus on reliability and user-friendly enhancements.

The roadmap follows a busy period of updates and infrastructure expansion, underscoring Proton VPN’s emphasis on performance, security, and user-focused improvements.

The Spring/Summer 2026 plan centers on faster performance, reliability, and simplified security across platforms, with a major overhaul of the client and server infrastructure.

Windows desktop will gain granular connection controls to exclude specific countries, cities, and states from Fastest Country and Random options, following the rollout to mobile.

Android and Windows users can test the upgraded WireGuard protocol immediately, with MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Linux users expected to access it in the coming months.

Linux users will receive a redesigned GUI along with support for the Stealth protocol to mask VPN traffic and evade heavy censorship.

Quality-of-life improvements rolled out across platforms include Windows enhancements allowing three features to run simultaneously, faster iPhone security updates, and Android Quick Connect fixes based on user feedback.

Early 2026 security and feature updates phased out legacy OpenVPN configurations and removed OpenVPN support on Android to improve overall security.

A new client-side WireGuard codebase sits at the center of the roadmap, boosting app speed and anti-censorship capabilities, with beta on Android and Windows and planned deployment to macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Linux.

Business users will gain enhanced admin controls, including web filtering policies, always-on VPN, and split tunneling to manage employee VPN usage across devices.

Proton VPN for Business will receive an administrative overhaul featuring advanced web filtering, centralized always-on VPN and split tunneling controls, and a real-time admin dashboard.

Key upgrades include an updated WireGuard protocol, a redesigned Linux app with Stealth protocol support, and more than 20,000 servers across 145 countries to improve speed and anti-censorship capabilities.
