NetShield offers three levels of protection: If any of the domains match, our DNS server will automatically block that resource from loading, keeping your device clean and speeding up your browsing. When you enable NetShield, the DNS server will check these domains against databases of domains known to host malware, ads, or trackers. When you are connected to ProtonVPN, your DNS requests are encrypted to prevent DNS leaks from exposing your browsing history.

ProtonVPN has dedicated DNS servers that are active on each ProtonVPN server you connect to and responsible for resolving all the domain requests for every resource (image, scripts, ads, etc.) for every website you visit and app you use. NetShield is a feature available to all users with a paid ProtonVPN plan that protects your device and speeds up your browsing by blocking ads, trackers, and malware.
