Will I lose access to Proton VPN immediately after cancelling?

No. Your premium access continues until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account downgrades to the free Proton VPN plan, which includes access to servers in 3 countries with slower speeds.

Can I get a refund when I cancel?

Proton offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for subscriptions purchased within the last 30 days via credit/debit card, PayPal, or Bitcoin. To request a refund, contact Proton support. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are subject to Apple's and Google's own refund policies respectively.

How do I cancel if I subscribed through the App Store or Google Play?

If you subscribed via iPhone/iPad, go to iOS Settings → tap your Apple ID at the top → Subscriptions → Proton VPN → Cancel Subscription. If you subscribed via Android, open the Google Play Store → tap your profile avatar → Subscriptions → Proton VPN → Cancel.

Does cancelling my subscription delete my Proton account?

No. Cancelling only stops the paid subscription; your Proton account and any stored data remain intact. To fully delete your account, you must go to account.proton.me → Security → Delete account, which is a separate process.

Can I reactivate my Proton VPN subscription after cancelling?

Yes. You can resubscribe at any time by logging into account.proton.me, going to the Subscription section, and selecting a new plan. Your previous settings and account data are preserved.

What happens to my VPN connection when the subscription expires?

Once your billing period ends, Proton VPN downgrades your account to the free tier. You can still use Proton VPN for free with access to servers in the US, Netherlands, and Japan, but without premium features like high-speed servers, Secure Core, or NetShield.
