Ratings and reviews

Was fine using the free service. Wanted to upgrade for more features, once I paid for it, the app no longer worked. It wanted me to create an account and then would never let me open the app again to do it. So, that sucks. EDIT, uninstalling and reinstalling allowed me access back into the app. But the service I PAID FOR is not accessible. So, that sucks even more.

I like Proton. BUT. Can't rate it more than 3 stars for now, cause of settings. Message: Less UI, more substance please! That goes for Desktop, as well! Make a toggle for different kinds of users: Simple / Advanced. We need more granular settings controls, even for UI. Also, can you add more cities in the USA? IP tracking from greedy corporations is way more precise these days... A ton of servers in major Metro areas, but not enough variety of servers overall. Good job chg your corp. struct. btw

VPN connectivity is generally pretty good and stable. They recently removed the ability to select servers at random which is really annoying. It's useful to be able to reconnect and get a different ip address for sites that try to block that. Also, I don't think their feature that lets you exclude an app from the VPN works correctly because my voicemail app never works right when connected. Response: don't care about load balancing. I want a new ip each time. I retested and it doesn't do that

What’s new

- Fixed an issue on Android TV where the keyboard couldn't be dismissed from the Custom DNS input on some devices.
- Improved TV startup auto-connect reliability, though system restrictions may limit it.
