Key Takeaways

Proton VPN has expanded its global network by adding new VPN servers in Bolivia, Haiti, Jamaica, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The company says the rollout was driven directly by user requests, aiming to improve access to secure internet connections in underserved regions.
Expansion Brings Local Access to More Users
The new servers, launched on March 31, allow users in these countries to connect via local exit nodes and access the internet using regional IP addresses. This is especially important in areas where cybersecurity infrastructure has traditionally been limited.
The update was also shared publicly by Proton VPN, with General Manager David Peterson highlighting the expansion in multiple local languages.
Better Speeds, Less Congestion
Having servers closer to users can significantly improve connection speeds and reduce latency. This means faster browsing, smoother video calls, and improved streaming performance.
The added locations also help reduce server congestion, ensuring more stable connections. At the same time, users benefit from encrypted traffic, protecting their data from tracking by ISPs.
Continued Focus on Growth and Accessibility
This move is part of Proton VPN’s broader effort to expand global coverage and improve accessibility. The company has also been strengthening its free VPN offering to help users bypass censorship.
The new server locations are now available and can be accessed by updating the app and selecting them from the server list.
