Comments on Proton VPN: Secure & Fast VPN for Android
★★★★★Sony Gupta· Oct 17, 2026
Proton VPN is one of the best VPN apps I have ever used. It offers a smooth experience, strong privacy features, and reliable connectivity. Its user-friendly interface and trustworthy approach to security make it stand out from other VPN services. Overall, it is an excellent VPN that delivers a great experience.
★★★★★jonah beres· Oct 6, 2026
This is the best VPN I have ever used! It works perfectly and has no bugs. However, some phones aggressively kill background apps and clear caches to save power, which causes the VPN to abruptly disconnect. Because of this, it can be difficult to reconnect to the exact server I was using. I strongly agree with other reviewers that adding a 'connect to the last server' feature would completely fix this issue. ❤
★★★★★David Jiyani sirat· Sep 30, 2026
Yes it's my favorite VPN bcuz it's too fast connected.
★★★★★جلال سلیمانزاده· Sep 30, 2026
It's really good for everything, and I can open Gemini with it
★☆☆☆☆DuckDuckGo IsMuchBetter· Sep 30, 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!

I'm tired of you, You always reply to my Gmail that you have to connect to our VPN this way, and your various messages always come, Believe me, we have so many VPNs in Iran that are affordable and highly secure, And we also have free VPNs, so we don't need non-Iranian VPNs, I'm tired of reading your messages, Enough,We have any type of VPN you want in Iran, And it gets our work done, and we have no problems, Even the best antiviruses that can be updated, please,are enough.

Vpn actually doesn't do anything. I can swap connection to a different country and if I do a speed test its showing my actual isp and connecting to local servers even though I was connected to Thailand vpn in proton. If I go to nord and do the same thing then the speed test will actually show im connected via vpn and showing server connection where I actually selected my vpn connection. It's clear that proton vpn isn't actually doing anything at all as shown by doing an internet speed test...

There is no option to add your own encrypted DNS DoH/DoQ. This doesn't require a support email! You simply lack the custom encrypted DNS feature; you only have a custom DNS for your IP address without encryption. Also, the jitter is too high, although I use all the features and my internet is stable and has no jitter.
