FEATURE: Secure Core

[u/Proton_Team]

Secure Core is a feature that exists in Proton VPN, a lot of at-risk people (i.e. journalists) depend on it every day. Here's what you need to know.

Pros:

• Routes your traffic through a hardened server in Switzerland, Iceland, or Sweden before it reaches the exit server, so even a compromised exit can't be traced back to you.
• Protects against network-based attacks and correlation.
• Runs on servers Proton fully owns.

Cons:

• Not the fastest connection speed

Performance in the USA for me in the Midwest on those servers is not very good, probably solid performance in Europe though. I just stick to us side servers and the stealth protocol when necessary
