par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 19258106 de Firefox, il y a un anThe extension looks the part but has usability issues that need managing manually.
The main usability issue is that if you're connected to a VPN server and the computer goes into sleep mode then later resumes, the connection isn't refreshed/handled properly, effectively blocking traffic until you manually disconnect/reconnect. Occasionally this issues causes the GUI to become unresponsive too, requiring the extension itself to be restarted.
There's also no feedback given on the connection quality/speed of the server you're currently connected to. If it starts to feel slow, it requires manually moving to another server; there's no automatic transfer to a better equivalent server within the same country.
Not a negative mark on the extension per se - but it's worth noting that there's a growing list of websites that will detect you using a VPN (likely through matching your IP against IPs known to belong to Proton/etc.), making VPN usage for 'general' anonymous browsing more and more frustrating.
Proton VPN itself works well and provides lots of protections and connection configuration; it's just the extension that has a few issues really.

mis en ligne : il y a un anThank you for your review. Could you share more details about the connection issue? Are you able to consistently reproduce it? Which version of Firefox, as well as the Proton VPN extension do you have installed? What device are you experiencing this issue on exactly? Contact us by clicking on Help in the Proton VPN extension, then selecting 'Contact us' so we can help you troubleshoot.
On another note, some websites block known VPN IP addresses. Let us know which websites you're having trouble accessing, as well as the servers you're connected to in the process so we can help. Meanwhile, you can try switching between multiple different servers to see whether the behavior improves with some of them.
Lastly, we've documented your request regarding automatic reconnection to a faster server for future consideration.

- Noté 3 sur 5par Dm, il y a un jourIt works... mostly... I am increasingly running into the issue of sites refusing to let me connect when I am using Proton VPN servers. This needs to be sorted.

- Noté 5 sur 5par exosphere, il y a 2 joursUsing the free version. Very reliable and fast to connect. Though the region is kinda random, still does the job, and allows to change to another random server every once in a while.

However, they need to include this in the description: unless you have the paid plan, you cannot choose what country you want (even from the 10 free countries offered in the plan). The only option on the free plan is Quick Connect, which auto-connects you.

- Noté 1 sur 5par AJ, il y a 6 joursUp until recently, Proton VPN has been a GREAT option for me. It was the only free VPN I trusted and used and it worked great. However as of yesterday it stopped working. I've tried to uninstall it but it actually won't let me, and if I try to click on the icon/widget it is just a neverending spinning circle. Also, I keep getting a popup that says "Your networks seems to be blocking Proton. The extension can't bypass this. Try the desktop app instead"
This is very frustrating to especially since the mobile version keeps workings fine for now. I originally thought it might be a problem on my end, but apparently this has been an issue for many other people. Dropping my review so hopefully others know they aren't alone - Noté 1 sur 5par magivmike, il y a 8 joursit never loads anything and just displays a window with a spinning circle on it, and the circle keeps spinning till I crash out and delete the extension

- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 20088169 de Firefox, il y a 12 joursQuite good, works where Firefox built-in VPN makes some websites jam,open-source, but I would really appreciate it if i can choose the country server I want for a free account instead of having to wait to change.
