Review by Ramouz
Rated 3 out of 5
by Ramouz, 2 months agoI have their paid VPN. The browser version of Proton VPN is limited. It's sad. I don't like talking like this because I like their service and speed, but there are so many things missing in all their apps, such as the Windows version, Android version, and the one in browsers.
Split tunneling is lacking on all devices and none have the same features. The one on the browser has the one I want, by website, but you can't include. As in, if you only want it to run on that website. You can only exclude so that it doesn't run on that website.
The one on Windows doesn't have website but IP or apps. You can include/exclude there but we desperately need the ability to add websites there and to decide per website/app/IP if we want to include or exclude. Same on the browser extension. Same on Android.
Here in Firefox, it's also missing a favorites list and the ability to choose a default. Same on Chrome/Edge. All 3 of their apps/extensions look different and behave different and have different settings. Really bad design.
None of our settings sync so you have to set it up each time in every browser, phone, computer OS.
Missing other information and settings.
Considering the number of clients they have, servers, and money they're making, they should easily have the budget to improve and streamline them all.
Will edit review after they update.

- Rated 1 out of 5by EnbyTea, 4 days agofree version is useless since you can't select countries in it anymore. If you're going to pay money for a VPN do it elsewhere.

posted a day 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 to connect to a specific server of your choice (https://protonvpn.com/pricing). - Rated 1 out of 5by Stanislav, 7 days agoПрекрасно работает на телефоне, никаких нареканий.
Абсолютно никак не работает на PC. Ни отдельным приложением, ни в виде дополнения к Firefox.
В России на PC полностью бесполезно.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by patrick, 13 days agoProton VPN a fonctionné quelques semaines, mais depuis assez longtemps maintenant (trop longtemps) il plante sur "En attente d'un serveur disponible" et peut rester ainsi des heures. ce 'truc' ne fonctionne pas.

posted 13 days agoBonjour, pouvez-vous confirmer que vous utilisez l'add-on pour Firefox (car celle-ci ne contient pas de texte "En attente d'un serveur disponible"). Pourrait-il s'agir d'un problème avec la version desktop ?
Dans tous les cas, je vous encourage à vous rendre sur protonvpn.com/support-form pour que le service client puisse analyser le problème et comprendre pourquoi la connexion ne fonctionne pas sur votre appareil. - Rated 5 out of 5by dost teklif, 16 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by R3D_S3C, a month agoI've used Proton VPN for a long time and I've never encountered a bigger pile of hot garbage, than this ridiculous extension. Works when and IF it wants to. More headache than protection.

posted a month agoHello,
I would recommend to download the desktop application instead in such case, you can do it from GitHub which hopefully shouldn't be geo-blocked:
Windows: github.com/ProtonVPN/win-app/releases
macOS: github.com/ProtonVPN/ios-mac-app/releases
Linux: should be available via apt, yum, etc. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18645604, a month agoскачайте дополнение, чтоб начать пользоваться нужно зайти на сайт.. который БЛОКИРОВАН без vpn. Умора... и 1 звезда (((
