Proton VPN’s 2025 no-logs policy audit is now available - Lemmy.World

from the team: ---------------------- Hey everyone, We are now able to share that Proton VPN has successfully passed its 4th consecutive independent audit of our strict no-logs policy, conducted by Securitum [https://www.securitum.com/], a leading European security auditing company. Key takeaways from the audit: - No activity or metadata logs are kept anywhere on our servers. - No inspection of user traffic occurs. - Robust administrative and technical controls are in place, including automated configuration management and a dual-control change process. - The no-logs policy is enforced uniformly across all servers, regions, and subscription tiers. Don’t trust, verify is not just something we preach, but something we practice, so our no-logs policy has now been verified by independent experts; you don’t have to take our word for it. 📖 Read the full audit report here [https://protonvpn.com/blog/no-logs-audit] Stay safe, Proton Team

Sorry to be a downer, but audits of software that isnt selfhosted are kinda useless. Unless they allow spontaneous unannounced inspection of their infrastructure, they can just do whatever they want after the audit.
Well, would you trust the company that’s actually gone through the audits, or the one that skips them to save money & be cheaper?
Only the one that just open sources their code and encourages people to self host.
You can’t self host a VPN, what would be the point?
Lemmy is “self hosted” that doesnt mean every user has their own instance…
