  • Overly complicated and troublesome

    I tried Proton VPN because it came with my Proton Mail subscription, and I can say I really hate it. It’s clumsy, overly complicated, and slow. I spend a lot of time messing with the settings to get various WiFi networks to work with it without blocking various web sites (for the life of me, I’ve never been able to connect with apple.com while on their VPN). I prefer no VPN over Proton VPN.

  • V 5.5.0 Preventing Most Other App Functionality

    Proton VPN v.5.5.0 is preventing functionality in the vast majority of the installed apps on my device. Despite extensive troubleshooting efforts over the past couple of weeks, the Proton VPN app doesn’t work properly ever since the current version was installed. The only action that restores proper functionality of other apps is to disable Proton VPN v.5.5.0. Mine is a paid annual subscription.
  • Proton Unlimited 5 Stars

    I have had Proton Unlimited for several years, worked well, I was very happy with it. My current Proton Unlimited subscription does not expire until mid-December 2024. Suddenly, last week my Proton Unlimited VPN stopped working. Internet access through Proton Unlimited VPN stopped working. I am using the same iOS device I’ve used for a year or two. I know how to use the App and the device. I am in the USA. Over several days, I received several Proton error messages, saying “Proton Unlimited Unavailable” and saying “Access Token Does Not Have Sufficient Scope”. I reported it to Proton via the App, including logs and narrative and later, screen shots. After that, and some questions, Tristan came through with a solution. I followed his instructions, and everything is working, again. I admit, I was upset for several days, but was finally pleased when Tristan gave me good advice (uninstall at about 3 points, reinstall, etc.) that restored my Proton VPN. Thank you, Tristan. You have restored my faith in Proton VPN. Thank you.
  • Workaround found. Free users WARNING: Update kills free country picking

    Proton keeps downgrading free service. The iOS and Mac OSX app have had issues auto connecting, but choosing a free server usually works. If it hangs you can choose another server until it connects. This update killed that function and prompts you to pay to do what used to be free. Is worth having to monkey with. Found a way to pick the country I NEED…ever heard of GEOFENCING Proton, how are consumers going to test if most sites are blocked or in the wrong language? Euros, go figure. By the way, my OSX free version LETS ME PICK COUNTRIES!

    I bought this thinking I could use VPN for free, but the only country it works in is my own. Absolutely terrible, I do not recommend getting.
  • Free account is worthless can’t choose country

    It may be rated well for paid service but misleading in value of free service. I went through the process of creating an account only to find out I can’t select the country I need. or any country for that matter.
