Hey proton team proton VPN is very good though, but it's missing something and that is all those features in plus now available in free both of them will have the same feature just a one major difference the plus version needs a payment method and if free version is Well free

★★★★★ Robert Heng Woo Lim · Sep 19, 2026

FANTASTIC !!! Finally, works, thanks STEFAN, .....but still too COMPLICATED, .....may I suggest using pre-prepared TEMPLATES, containing set scenarios, which we subscribers could SIMPLY select one or two templates, or add in more in the future, according to our CHANGING circumstances !!!

★★☆☆☆ Joe R · Sep 24, 2026

Bait and switch tactics. You sign up for the VPN, then the level of service is reduced in the middle of the subscription, services are reduced during the subscription period. To a lower tier with no explanations, and it's impossible to speak with anyone.

★☆☆☆☆ DuckDuckGo IsMuchBetter · Sep 18, 2026

💫💫 👉 (RE-EDITED) Proton VPN INTENTIONALLY displays your TRUE IP ADDRESS on the splash screen to SCREENGRABBED MALWARE EVERY time you reconnect the VPN! I think Proton may have a government agent in their development team, because why else would they do that? They added this privacy destroying IP animation ~2 years ago, which they never had b4, & it serves NO practical purpose. They REFUSE to remove the IP animation! PROTON VPN CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

★☆☆☆☆ Firdavs Jorayev · Sep 24, 2026

I have an old problem with Proton vpn, why connecting VPN is very slow? I should clean the app's storage and can fast connect to VPN connect VPN is very easy when you download and clean storage that is not good
