- Rated 3 out of 5by srickficture, 3 months agoThe Proton VPN extension is almost perfect, but on Firefox Linux, this thing just won't reconnect after coming back from sleep! Disconnecting and reconnecting hangs, and that gets nowhere, but disabling and re-enabling the extension makes everything work. Proton is a great VPN with a lot of extra functionality, but this extension needs a bit more polish.

- Rated 4 out of 5by kire, 3 months agoIt would be nice if there was a way to pin certain countries/location to the top of the list, or if the extension remembered the last few countries you used.
Otherwise, great extension.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14053184, 3 months agoCela fait plus d'un an que j'utilise Proton VPN (payant). Qu'il s'agisse de l'app (Linux ou Android) ou de l'extension pour Firefox, j'en suis ravi. J'ai utilisé pas mal de VPN depuis pas mal d'années, et Proton VPN (et Proton en général) est devenu incontournable pour moi ! Je pense aussi que le rapport qualité-prix pour la suite Proton est vraiment excellent, surtout dans un monde internet de mois en mois sûr !

- Rated 1 out of 5by atchoum, 3 months ago"Certaines fonctionnalités peuvent être payantes" dès qu'on a installé l'extension il faut payer donc c'est mensonger!
il faut payer obligatoirementDeveloper response
posted 3 months agoThat's not right. We do 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 (https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn). You can navigate to https://protonvpn.com/support/browser-extensions for more details on how to use the Proton VPN browser extension.
That said, some features are available exclusively on our paid plans so as to achieve a balance between offering a free service and providing added benefits to our paid subscribers. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19482425, 3 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Henne, 3 months agoLeider startet das Addon nicht fehlerfrei automatisch mit dem Start von Firefox. Firefox ladet keine Seiten bei eingeschalteten aqutostart des Addon und stürzt ab. Ohne eingestellten Autostart funktioniert es, daher 3 Sterne.

- Rated 5 out of 5by sparcplug, 4 months agoBasically works perfectly. Highly recommend but you may have to fiddle with your system proxy settings if they're not set to auto detect
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."Developer response

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. Developer response

But currently i find a problem where if you close the browser with the vpn on after you reopen the browser it will try to connect to vpn immediately but will instead basically remove internet connection to the entire browser, making the extension itself inaccessible as well, only solution is to disable the extension and re-enableDeveloper response

Also, can you make split tunneling work the opposite way? i.e. I only want some websites to go through the VPN.
EDIT: The split tunneling now has include mode and exclude mode! Woop woop!Developer response
