Original review: "Installs easy and looks simple enough. It connects but doesn't work at all in that all I get is "Unable to find the proxy server". I have allowed the permission for ProtonVPN to manage the setting so I don't know how it can be wrong. If I take away the permission it doesn't allow it to connect. Literally a fresh firefox install of the latest version. Connects to internet fine with no proxy or other funny business when turned off. Basically it looks like the thing connects and then breaks the Proxy settings to not use the tunnel."

posted 2 months agoThat doesn't sound right. Are you using any other extensions for privacy/security purposes? What type of internet connection are you using? Are you using any other VPN, proxy, or custom DNS service? Contact us by clicking on Help in the Proton VPN extension, then selecting 'Contact us' so we can help you further.
