Within days, Proton VPN issued a formal announcement of a limited‑time 70 % discount on its two‑year subscription, setting the price at $2.99 per month. The promotion, applicable to plans covering up to ten devices, was marketed especially toward users in Pakistan and the United States while remaining available globally.
