How to Cancel Proton VPN?
🔍 Quick answer:
To cancel Proton VPN, sign in at account.proton.me, open Dashboard → Subscriptions, click Manage subscription, then Cancel subscription. You keep service until the period ends and can request a prorated refund within 30 days.
Method 1: Cancel via Proton website (recommended)
This works for plans bought directly from Proton (most common case). Subscriptions bought through Google Play or Apple App Store must be cancelled in those stores — see Methods 2 and 3.
- Go to account.proton.me and sign in with your Proton account.
- Click Dashboard in the left sidebar.
- Open the Subscriptions tab.
- Click Manage subscription next to your VPN plan.
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm.
Method 2: Cancel a Proton VPN subscription bought on Android
Open Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, find Proton VPN, and tap Cancel. Refunds must be requested through Google, not Proton.
Method 3: Cancel a Proton VPN subscription bought on iOS
Go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Proton VPN → Cancel Subscription. Apple handles the refund; Proton cannot issue it directly.
How to request a 30-day refund
Proton offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for direct purchases. To claim it:
- Email support@proton.me or open a ticket from the support form.
- State that you're cancelling within the 30-day window and want a refund.
- Refunds typically arrive in 7-14 days on the original payment method.
What happens after you cancel
- You keep full access until the end of the current billing cycle.
- The plan downgrades to Proton VPN Free automatically — no data loss.
- Your account, email (if Proton Mail), and saved settings stay intact.
💡 Pro tip: If you bought Proton VPN through a promo or bundled deal (e.g. with Proton Mail Plus), cancelling the VPN may also remove bundle discounts. Check the prorated amount before confirming.
