Proton has a plan to boost your online privacy. And your friend can benefit, too

Technology specialist Proton has made a couple of announcements to make its services more appealing. 

First off, the free Proton VPN browser extension encrypts your internet traffic with a single click. Users don’t have to bother installing the full app, so it’s easy to use. The extension provides internet access in countries where VPN apps are blocked by app stores.

The company has also added a new plan called Duo, which aims to make online privacy easy for two people. With this plan, you’ll get 1TB of total storage and individual encrypted email addresses, calendars, secure storage for files, photos, passwords, and a VPN. 

Also: Proton Mail is making a serious case to be my next Linux email client

This is an ideal solution for two people looking to up their security game and migrate away from the likes of Google. Proton offers similar apps to Google (email, calendar, cloud storage, VPN, a password manager, and a wallet), all of which are protected with end-to-end encryption, so your data is protected from anyone looking to sniff out your data.

Although Proton Duo is geared toward two people, you’ll get separate login information, so all data is separate.

Also: The best VPN services for iPhone and iPad (yes, you need to use one)

Proton Duo includes the following:

• Up to two users
• 1TB of total storage space (with 15GB bonus storage each year)
• Everything in Proton Unlimited
• Full access to the entire Proton app catalog (Mail, Drive, Calendar, Pass, and VPN)
• Document collaboration
• Private web browsing
• Proton Sentinel account protection
• Dark web monitoring
• Calendar sharing
• File and photo backups
• Personal email identity

For a limited time, you can sign up for Proton Duo at only $14/month for a one-year plan. Once you sign up for this promotional price, you’ll get that same rate forever.
