このガイドを信頼する理由
I have run ProtonVPN for two years across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and アンドロイド.
Every step here comes from my own screens, not a press kit.

プロトン VPN is an open-source VPN built for people who care about online privacy.
Most users install it, hit connect, and never touch the rest.
This step by step guide shows you how to use ProtonVPN properly.
Setup first, then every feature worth knowing.

How to Use ProtonVPN Swiss Legal Protector
スイスの法的保護 lets you keep your data under Switzerland’s strict privacy law instead of weaker jurisdictions.
以下に、その使用方法をステップごとに説明します。
Step 1: Check Your Account Region
Open Account in the app menu and review your Proton account details.
Your account sits with Proton in Geneva regardless of where you live.
Step 2: Pick a Swiss Server

Step 3: Save It as a Profile
Open the Profiles tab and save Switzerland as a named profile.
✅ 結果: Your vpn tunnel now terminates inside one of the strongest privacy jurisdictions on earth.
💡 プロのヒント: Turn on Two-Factor Authentication for your Proton account, since legal cover means little if your password leaks.
How to Use ProtonVPN No-Logs Policy
ログなしポリシー あなたに ブラウズ without the app storing user connection logs about where you go.

Step 1: Read the Policy First

Click NetShield in the sidebar or the settings panel.
NetShield is available to paid users on Plus and Proton Unlimited.

Step 3: Reconnect to Apply It
Disconnect and reconnect so the filter loads on your vpn connection.
✅ 結果: Ads and tracking scripts die at the DNS level before they touch your device.
💡 プロのヒント: If a site breaks, drop back to malware-only blocking instead of turning NetShield off completely.
How to Use ProtonVPN DNS Leak Protector
DNSリーク保護 lets you keep every lookup inside the vpn tunnel instead of leaking to your provider.
以下に、その使用方法をステップごとに説明します。
Step 1: Connect First
Connect to any Proton VPN server before you test anything.
Step 2: Run a Leak Test
Visit a DNS leak test site and run the extended check.

Step 3: Add Custom DNS if Needed
Advanced users can set custom DNS entries in the settings panel.
✅ 結果: Your lookups stay inside the vpn tunnel from end to end.

Step 1: Enable the Accelerator
Open Settings and switch VPN Accelerator on.

Step 3: Watch the Server Load
Pick a server showing under 50 percent server load.
✅ 結果: You get near-native speeds on a private connection, even across continents.
💡 プロのヒント: If your current server feels slow, connect to one at least 10 numbers away to dodge local bottlenecks.
How to Use ProtonVPN Core Architecture
セキュアコアアーキテクチャ lets you route traffic through hardened data centers before it exits.
以下に、その使用方法をステップごとに説明します。
Step 1: Open the Secure Core Tab
Click Secure Core in the left sidebar of the app.
Secure Core is part of the paid plans, not the free version.
Step 2: Pick Your Entry Country
Choose Switzerland, Iceland, or Sweden as your entry point.
これがその様子です。
✓ チェックポイント: The app draws a two-hop line between your entry and exit servers.
Step 3: Choose the Exit Server
Select the country you want the internet to see.
✅ 結果: Your traffic passes through two servers, so no single exit point knows both ends.
💡 プロのヒント: Secure Core costs some speed, so save it for sensitive work and use standard servers for streaming.
ProtonVPN Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After two years with ProtonVPN, these are the shortcuts I actually use.
キーボードショートカット
| アクション | ショートカット |
|---|---|
| Connect to fastest server | Ctrl + Q (Cmd + Q on マック) |
| 切断 | Ctrl + D (Cmd + D on マック) |
| Open settings panel | Ctrl + , (Mac の場合は Cmd + ,) |
| Search the server list | Ctrl + F (Mac の場合は Cmd + F) |
ほとんどの人が見逃す隠れた機能
- スプリットトンネリング: Send your banking app outside the vpn tunnel while everything else stays protected.
- Stealth protocol: Disguises VPN traffic as normal HTTPS so ホテル and campus Wi-Fi stops blocking it.
- Router install: Put ProtonVPN on a compatible router and every device on the network is covered, including Android TV.
- Profiles tab: Save a country plus protocol combination and reconnect to it in one click.
- Browser extension: The Chrome and Firefox browser extensions protect web traffic without routing your whole device.
- Always on VPN: On Android, this setting will block connections that try to reach the internet outside the tunnel.
ProtonVPN Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Assuming the Kill Switch Is On
❌ 間違い: Installing the app and expecting the kill switch to protect you by default.
✅ 右: Open Settings and switch the kill switch on manually after install, so a dropped vpn connection cuts internet access instead of exposing you.
Mistake #2: Always Picking the Farthest Server
❌ 間違い: Choosing a vpn server on the other side of the planet for no reason.
✅ 右: Connect to a geographically closer server with a low usage load unless you specifically need that country.
Mistake #3: Running an Outdated App
❌ 間違い: Skipping updates for months and blaming Proton when speeds drop.
✅ 右: Keep the app and your device firmware current so you get the newest security protocols and speed fixes.
ProtonVPN Troubleshooting
Problem: The VPN Connection Keeps Dropping
原因: An overloaded vpn server or an unstable Wi-Fi link.
修理: Switch to a server at least 10 numbers away from the current one, then reconnect.
Problem: A Website Says You Are Blocked
原因: The site recognises the exit IP as a shared VPN address.
修理: Try another vpn server in the same country, or switch to the Stealth protocol.
Problem: Slow Downloads and Upload Speeds
原因: A distant server, high server load, or an older protocol.
修理: Switch to WireGuard, check the server load figure, and confirm VPN Accelerator is enabled.
📌 注記: If none of these fix it, paid users get live chat and everyone can use the Proton VPN Help and support page.
