What happens to Proton Mail and Proton Drive if I cancel Proton VPN?

If you have a Proton Unlimited or Proton Business plan that bundles VPN, Mail, and Drive, canceling the plan affects all three services - not just the VPN. Your account reverts to the free tier, which has limited storage and features for Mail and Drive. If you only want to cancel VPN and keep Mail, contact Proton support to adjust your plan rather than canceling outright.

Proton VPN vs other VPN options

Proton VPN is built by the team behind ProtonMail and is based in Switzerland, making it a strong choice for privacy-focused users. Its free plan is genuinely useful (no data limits, unlike most free VPNs). If you're canceling because of cost, consider downgrading to the free plan rather than canceling entirely.

Proton VPN refund policy

Proton offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on first-time purchases. For renewals or cases outside the 30-day window, Proton generally does not offer refunds. Contact support.proton.me for billing disputes.
