- Rated 1 out of 5by Mopikot, 7 months agorequires REGISTRATION! no guest use!
it is a complete nonsense as your web site with registration is BLOCKED in my country.
So it is totally unusable in any way .... Unless you install another VPN to register your VPN, are you sure that is a journey for best experience??
Silly that android app allows quest login.Developer response

It regularly disconnects so pages won't load, as in, very frequently, making it extremely annoying to use...

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17603376, 9 months agoTotally unreliable. Icon on app in tool bar often shows wrong status. Often hangs. Blocks after suspend and have to turn extension off then on again. As bad as Proton's Linux VPN app, wish I wasn't a paying customer.

Shriradhakrishnasharnam, 9 months agoNot available for Firefox on Android, so I have no choice other than to skip it
Developer response
posted 9 months agoThe browser extension is currently not officially supported on Firefox for Android, however, we will work on a mobile-friendly version in the future. In the meantime, you can download the native Proton VPN app at protonvpn.com/download-android. - Rated 1 out of 5by Jojo, 10 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by RipvWinkle, 10 months agoIf isp blocking proton site there is no way to use this extension because authorization is going before establish vpn connection.

posted 10 months agoSorry to hear that. We've shared your feedback with the team for further investigation. That said, if you have the opportunity to install our native Proton VPN app or connect through the manual setup methods, we'd suggest doing so as an alternative. - Rated 1 out of 5by Александр, 10 months agoДля начала работы VPN надо войти в аккаунт, а при попытке войти в аккаунт выдаёт ошибку: "При соединении с account.proton.me произошла ошибка. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR". Не рабочее дополнение

Do you have access to a different network that you can try connecting to for testing purposes?

For whatever reason it always selects the Netherlands, which is extremely slow here.
Being able to pre-select the country is a must, I think.Developer response
posted 10 months agoThe default auto-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. That said, if you wish to connect to a specific server of your choice, you may consider upgrading your plan. On another note, you can learn more about improving your connection speeds at protonvpn.com/support/increase-vpn-speeds. - Rated 1 out of 5by tron34, 10 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by SiriuslyDaniel, 10 months agolove proton but this is for paid only. It chooses fastest for you or you have to pay. It wouldn't even load or accept it for me to even try.
My free fastest is in Netherlands and I'm in USA.
So I guess I have to pay or it needs updated?Developer response
posted 10 months agoThe default auto-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. That said, you still have the option to switch to another randomly allocated server by disconnecting and reconnecting again, or you can upgrade your plan to connect to a specific server of your choice. - Rated 1 out of 5by Izzyy, 10 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18857006, a year agopaying customer here. I constantly have to re-sign in again and again, this happens every few days. no other extensions active.
the worst is that sometimes I don't realize i'm not connected. other times i have to restart the browser to let me connect to the internet.
used a competitor before, for a year, none of these problems.Developer response
posted a year agoSorry to hear that. Could you describe the issues further? Are you getting automatically logged out of the extension? What are the specific steps you're taking that lead to the behavior? Are you receiving any error messages?
Furthermore, what version of your browser and the Proton VPN extension do you currently have installed? Are you using any other extensions for privacy/security purposes?

Це типовий розводняк, але те, що цим займається ця компанія - неприємно. Перевірити мої слова легко, зареєструйтеся з особливим нікнеймом чи новою поштою де ніде не світили, і через декілька місяці ви побачити подібні листи. Не рекомендую використовувати будь яку програму\розширення, бо я сумніваюся, що лише спамом вони обходяться.

posted a year agoThis is simply false. All Proton apps are open source and have been independently audited and verified by third-party experts. Anyone can see and verify that our apps do what we claim. With that in mind, Proton is completely trustworthy and has nothing to do with any of the issues you've mentioned.
Nonetheless, if you have any additional details to share regarding the matter, feel free to contact us at proton.me/support/contact. We'd be happy to address any concerns you may have. - Rated 1 out of 5by tttt, a year ago
