Ratings and reviews

Exellent! For me it is not as much about using a VPN for privacy as it is for quality of the service and connection. Untill Proton,every single vpn I ever used cut off and left me online. I used every possible fix ,directions from them,and setting to keep my connection off if the should be interrupted. Each one failed and more than once. None gave me more speed. So far it has not shut down one time. It has many connections available and has percent of each one listed! Awesome. Recommended.

Fast connections all over the world. Set up and use is very easy. I've tested speeds with and without the VPN and they're always nearly identical, so it doesn't slow you down. The exception being if you're connecting to another continent, but that's to be expected. Even then the speeds are still great. The integrated ad blocking by itself makes this a great app. They also regularly get independent audits proving they don't log data. By far the best VPN out there and worth the subscription!

Free servers automatically connect to unwanted countries. No manual connection to the country I want. If you want to change the server, there is a 90 second delay (wait) and you still cannot select your desired country. Useless app. They say this is the update for a maximum speed and stability but this is for more money encouraging people to the paid plan. I do not trust people who twist the truth. No reason to choose this company even when buying a paid VPN plan.

What's new

We fixed an issue that caused VPN connection problems in highly restricted environments.
Minor UI and stability improvements.
