It’s good

It just keeps connecting to the same countries making the change sever basically pointless

Jacovazzo

Ótimo

slow app, terrible connections

takes around 5 seconds for the phone app to open, even when running, slow internet, often totally stops

Slowness and connection

Biggest issue I have is when leaving somewhere from WiFi, it takes forever to reconnect or it just says reconnecting and it can take several minutes or more to connect. It really slows everything down quite a bit.

Genial

Son geniales. Nos ayuda mucho gracias

Sells data and is a Zionist company

Unfortunately

Van

I’m very happy for this thank you very much

This VPN Benefit

I like the VPN in that it successfully connects virtually every time. I like that a free one is still available. It blocks the negative actions we seek.

Connection issues

I’ve been unable to connect to internet sites when connected to Proton VPN. Not reliable in my view.

Capps

Cool

Unable to identify mainland China IP address

Unable to recognize IP addresses from mainland China; cannot be used normally. Android version can recognize them.

Disconnecting

The VPN loses connection a lot

Useless on macos desktop

Every time I reboot it connects. Everything breaks and I turn it off. Keep hoping it will get fixed but it’s been years since

Best free vpn

I love how the widgets make it easy to use and how its not one of those “pay for this to get access to the vpn” and then not work

Best

Simply brilliant

Massive speed issue

The VPN reduces my internet speed from 900 Mbps to just 60 Mbps. This morning, it took over 45 minutes to download the latest iOS update. I’ve tried all the recommended fixes, but nothing works. This is the second time I’ve experienced this issue. The service is simply not worth the subscription fee. Time to look for alternatives.

VPN stays dead after switching to Wi-Fi

Good VPN with one repeatable bug. I connect on cellular, then join my home Wi-Fi. The VPN stops passing traffic and does not recover. The app still shows "Connected". Only a manual reconnect fixes it.

My logs show the cause. My carrier is IPv6-only with NAT64, so the server address resolves to a 64:ff9b:: address. After the switch to IPv4-only Wi-Fi, WireGuard keeps sending to that address and gets "no route to host". On each network change it re-binds the socket but never re-resolves the endpoint. Upstream wireguard-apple re-resolves on every path change. Your fork does not.

iOS 27.0.1, Proton VPN 7.5.2.

GET IT NOW ITS SO GOOD

I love it as much as Nord vpn but this has a free option go download both Nord and proton

Connecting and disconnecting when switching networks.

I really love using Proton and its products but man, the disconnecting caused by Proton is extremely annoying.

I have to go back into the app to click disconnect and reconnect because for some reason it can’t handle it automatically.

I will keep the app up to date but I want to at least hear it’s a priority and will be resolved soon.
