Ratings and reviews

Great service at a fair price. What's really great about this app is that it offers multi hop capabilities through their secure core based in multiple privacy friendly countries. For some reason, that's a rare, but critical feature for privacy. No other major provider offers that, not even Nord. Breaking through 1 VPN, possible and not hard for some. Breaking through 3 of them? Good luck. Better pack a lunch and be ready for a lot of delivery. Up to 10 devices, run a VM and run the VPN in VM.

Honestly, it worked fine when I first installed it, but now it is constantly slow. I'm talking 100 BYTES or lower at times. I have tried every single option, setting, and network that I can think of, and still, it has horrendous lows. It works great, when it isn't tanking my internet speed. As far as I can tell, this is just a problem on mobile, I have it installed on both my Linux and Windows pc's and it works just fine.

I'd give it 5 stars; it does everything it claims to. But there's one very frustrating issue. If I click a link, whether it's in an email or on Amazon, I get a screen that says it can't load. Then I have to close the Proton app, refresh, and then the link will work. I bought the service for a year, but I keep having to close it to use the internet. That being said. It is fast, blocks ads, and is secure. But if i have to keep closing it, what's the point?

What's new

Improved split tunneling. You can now enter IP ranges (using CIDR notation) to include in or exclude from the VPN tunnel
