The most popular workplace apps have all integrated AI into their products, including Slack AI, Jira AI-Powered Virtual Agent, and Gemini for Google Workspace.

The company has a positive reputation for cybersecurity, and benefits from being based in Switzerland, a nation with strong privacy laws. Features include an ad-blocker, DNS leak protection, and support for Tor over VPN. 

To qualify for a Proton VPN dedicated server, you’ll need to opt for the VPN Business plan, which starts at €9.99 (about…
