Proton VPN adds five new server locations across Latin America and the Caribbean

Proton VPN has added servers in five new countries in direct response to user requests.

Users of one of the best VPNs can now connect to locations in Bolivia, Haiti, Jamaica, Paraguay, and Uruguay. This extends the total locations offered by Proton VPN to over 170 and continues its focused on often underrepresented regions.

The locations are available now, with the news announced on X on March 31.

Proton VPN plants its flag in five underrepresented markets

Proton VPN's General Manager, David Peterson, marked the launch with a post on X. He posted in multiple languages, including Haitian Creole, Jamaican Patois, Spanish, and Guarani, reflecting the communities the new servers are designed to serve.

The servers cover major cities in Latin American and Caribbean countries:

• Bolivia – La Paz
• Haiti – Port-au-Prince
• Jamaica – Kingston
• Paraguay – Asuncion
• Uruguay – Montevideo

All five countries have historically been underserved by the VPN industry, leaving users to connect to distant servers and absorb the performance hit.

Connecting to a VPN server closer to where you're based can improve speed, latency, and performance. It also mitigates server overcrowding which can impact performance.

However, these servers are only available to paid Proton VPN subscribers. Proton VPN Free is still limited in its server spread.

Proton VPN is known for offering servers in underrepresented regions. At our last count it's total server count exceeded 16,000 and included 36 locations in North America, 10 in South America, 49 in Europe, 45 in Asia, 6 in Oceania, and 29 Africa.

User-driven expansion with a privacy mission behind it

This is a direct response to community feedback rather than a corporate land-grab. And the practical benefits are real: connecting to a local server reduces latency, stabilises video calls, and cuts buffering. For users previously routing through the US or Europe, the difference will be noticeable.

The expansion also aligns with Proton VPN's broader anti-censorship mission. Its Stealth protocol obfuscates VPN traffic to resemble regular browsing, while Secure Core servers route connections through two hops for added protection.
