PhishDestroy threat report
PhishDestroy’s intake AI classified the site as malicious because it impersonates the Proton VPN brand, using the brand’s name, logo and marketing copy on a domain that does not belong to the official service. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-23, 107 days after its registration on 2026-07-08. A page fetch on 2026-10-23 returned HTTP 200 and displayed the recorded title “Proton VPN | Secure Swiss VPN & Free Privacy Protection”.
Brand‑impersonation scams create webpages that look like legitimate services to lure visitors into entering login credentials, downloading software, or granting permissions. By mimicking the visual design and wording of the real Proton VPN site, attackers hope victims will trust the page and disclose sensitive information. The risk lies in credential theft or unauthorized account access, not in any observed malicious code on this particular page.
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-22 with 92 engines and reported one suspicious detection from ESET. Google Safe Browsing checked on 2026-10-23 and did not flag the site. URLScan captured a snapshot on 2026-10-20 and returned a clean verdict. OTX listed zero pulses as of 2026-10-23. PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist marks the domain as malicious, while external blocklists showed no entries on 2026-10-22.
The domain was registered with Gname on 2026-07-08 and expires on 2027-07-08; the WHOIS record shows a clientTransferProhibited status. The recorded DNS entries listed Cloudflare IP addresses such as 104.21.43.31, and the certificate check indicated the site was delivered via Cloudflare’s network in GB. The TLS certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, is valid until 2026-11-30 and covers protonvpn.st and *.protonvpn.st.
Users should avoid entering any Proton VPN credentials or downloading files from this site; if credentials were entered, change the password on the official Proton VPN account and enable two‑factor authentication. Defenders should block the exact domain protonvpn.st, monitor DNS queries for the recorded Cloudflare IPs, and add the domain to internal blocklists to prevent future access.

No. PhishDestroy classifies protonvpn.st as a Celer impersonation page (risk: critical, 78/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-23. VirusTotal: 1/92 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on protonvpn.st. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.
