Proton VPN FAQ
Is Proton VPN free?
Yes, Proton VPN is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Proton VPN legit?
🤔 The Proton VPN app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I was able to use this service just fine until it just randomly decided I couldn’t one day. Now I get error messages telling me that my email doesn’t exist and my username is invalid. They are the SAME exact ones I used to sign up, so how can that be? It let me reset my password somehow using the same email it was telling me didn’t exist but then I still got an error message after. How incredibly infuriating.

✨I LOVE THIS VPN, it is very nice!✨
Excelente!
Al principio creí que no funcionaba pero seguí un video en YouTube y todo increíble! Recomendado!
Best free VPN service
While it’s annoying that the free version is limited to a few countries, it’s nice that it’s useful whenever I’m having trouble getting into sites that are full of traffic.
Change Time zone
Do Proton vpn changes your time zone to if not can you add that to Proton vpn
BLOCKED by many website and shows wrong country!
UPDATED:
I've been using this service for a while now and the problem is (1) some websites and apps are blocking me no matter which server I pick because they can see I'm using a vpn, and (2) several websites think I'm in England and show prices in foreign currency even though I'm using a California server and am in California!! Not good!!
Previous review:
It would be nice to have more detailed options for blocking of tracking domains, similar to how the Privacy Pro app lets users choose between strict (full), aggressive, or default blocking of Facebook tracking domains, Google tracking domains, Amazon tracking domains, cryptomining, etc. Also would be nice to have a log which shows which connections are attempted and blocked by each app. That would also be useful for troubleshooting apps that are using third-party content that's blocking VPN connections. I also have found that websites can still see that I'm using a VPN and can block based on that, so Proton needs to work on making it difficult or impossible for a site to see that you're using a VPN. For example, I can't use OfferUp with the VPN active, and the Browserleaks site can identify the connection as VPN, so I'm sure any site or app can also. Also, when a user disconnects and reconnects, they should be assigned a new IP, not reassigned the same server/IP. That's not very good for privacy/tracking.
I came back for 1 month..
So, after coming back for a month, I realize the app on iOS is much underdeveloped compared to the app on android. I would like to see some changes in all the features that are on iPhone that are on Android such as, seeing which apps are available to stream and more profiles that are very much customizable to where I can choose the fastest state server instead of choosing the number in the profile editor. I would also like to see some improvement in the stealth protocol speed and being able to filter connections like on Android between p2p, tor, stealth, and secure core instead of just finding it individually. And also more details in the connection like server load and what type of features of the server I am connected (like if it’s p2p compatible) Overall, It’s missing the cooler information that’s on Android.
Don’t block ads the premium version
Hi, I love proton but failed in adblock. I tested myself and I found this is not like AdGuard. AdGuard block ads and don’t appear in my screen. While I use proton for the purpose to block ads, they still appearing in my screen and have access to them. Can be fast proton and good stuff for privacy but if you are looking something for block ads. Proton is not ready yet. Fix this issue. 3 because of that. I forgot to mention this, Surfshark works too, I tested myself and block ads without any issue. I don’t understand why Proton made netshield like a DNS but DNS of AdGuard work really well and ads not appear in my screen. Proton need to improve this a lot. In the future if this issue is fixed I will consider use protonvpn again. I forgot to mention, why I can’t change servers? I change other VPN because all VPN I can change manually.
