posted 3 months agoThat doesn't sound right. We have a free plan that costs $0 and allows you to secure your internet connection with no ads, no logs, and provides the same level of privacy and security as our paid plans. Anyone can sign up for our free plan, and we don't ask for any payment details during signup.- Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Hansen, 3 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by cxtbs, 3 months agoРоссия. Не работает даже открытие окна расширения. А на сайт ProtonVPN без прокси и других средств войти невозможно.
Причём на телефоне (Android) подключение удаётся через раз, а как расширение для браузера или служба (в Linux) не работает -- не удаётся подключиться.
Как оно может обходить блокировки и прочее, если само недоступно -- непонятно.Developer response

Our team is working hard on improving our infrastructure so that all our users are able to connect more easily. We will continue to make more improvements to enhance service availability despite the ongoing blocking attempts.

(hopefully this extension gets better)
I like Proton a lot. Why? Because Proton is just a amazing company in general. Their VPN is one of the best, and their free VPN is the best non-paid VPN in the market.
However, I've had some problems with their VPN extension. I have limited freedom, I cannot enable the kill switch, change my VPN protocol to something like Stealth (that was created by Proton) to bypass VPN blocks and censorship.
On a heavily restricted, locked down WiFi network (I'm talking Amazon.com, Github.com, DuckDuckGo.com are all blocked and much more), the VPN extension is blocked despite me being signed in and it working on a hotspot and other networks without restrictions. I've used the VPN app with Stealth and it's worked fine on the network, but the extension doesn't work.
I hope that this extension improves in the future and addresses this issue. Thank you Proton.Developer response
posted 3 months agoThank you for your review. Some public networks (e.g. in schools, hotels, airports, workplaces, etc.) tend to apply restrictions in order to prevent harmful activities and keep track of the traffic flowing. That said, the browser extension uses HTTPS. This is the only connection protocol supported by modern browsers. With that in mind, if you cannot connect using the extension, we suggest using the native Proton VPN app with the Stealth protocol, which was designed for this specific purpose. Developer response
posted 3 months agoSorry to hear that. Would you mind describing the issue further? Are you having trouble connecting to our servers, or is there a different issue? Are you receiving any error messages? We'd be more than happy to help you troubleshoot, but we need some basic details to work with. Please contact us by clicking on Help in the Proton VPN extension, then selecting 'Contact us' so we can assist you further.- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18641504, 3 months agoThis extension can be good or useless.
the issue is it automatically connects you to a server, they say it use the fastest one but actually its random. for me for example netherland and romani servers works good but it auto connects me randomly to USA and Poland which do not work so i have to press the change btn a lot of times to randomly get netherland or romani. the system actually sucks it didnt used to be this wayDeveloper response
posted 3 months agoThe default Quick connect option will connect you to the fastest available server for you. This leads to better load balancing and higher speed, which is a priority for free users. If you'd like to connect to a specific server in a country of your choice, you may consider upgrading your plan.
That said, can you let us know what exactly doesn't work when connected to our free US and Poland servers? Contact us with more details by clicking on Help in the Proton VPN extension, then selecting 'Contact us' so we can assist you further. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19439030, 3 months agoActualización:
Los problemas de conectividad se debían al software Killer Performance Suite y Killer Performance Driver Suite UWD de Intel. Una vez desinstalados, la conexión es inmediata.
Faltan funcionalidades básicas que sí están implementadas en el software para escritorio. Desearía, por ejemplo, definir un servidor favorito al que se conecte siempre.
Proton ¿cuándo implementarán Túnel dividido con nombres de dominio en el software de escritorio?Developer response
