    Internet becomes terrible after connecting

    Proton can (not always) block access to the internet and conflicts with iOS and Windows. Difficult for ordinary user to resolve conflicts.
  • Good until the recent updates

  • Junk vpn

    I’ve stopped using this useless vpn. I have the paid version and it will only allow me to connect to Chicago or New York where I have constant issues throughout everyday using this service. Selecting my own connection is also very useless because the app refuses to work when doing this, or I’ll have internet access for a few minutes then it locks up as usual. Disconnecting from an area that blocks me from accessing the web, only to connect to another Chicago or new York router that will certainly in only a few minutes fail and leaves me without internet access and only to connect to another router in the same area, like the south or west has no options for me to connect to. This makes this service useless and a waste of my money on something that needs fixed, but proton is too busy buying boats to care.
  • Just OK

    Proton, VPN issues: Not being able to choose your connection, unless you pay for their premium service $12 mo! The connections the app makes are random, and for general, you seems to work well. But it's a big hassle if you need to show your traffic from a certain local. App recommended for general security use, not recommended for targeted location use. Outcomes with protons mail service premium, but they never tell you you don't get the best version of the app.
  • Very slow and unresponsive servers.

    I get it, it’s free, but with how slow and sometimes completely unresponsive the servers can be sometimes, I would never consider paying for the premium version. Sometimes it gets to the point where I have to disconnect from any of the servers and not use a VPN at all if I want to use the internet, in which completely defeats the purpose of trying to use a VPN to prevent tracking to begin with. Plus, you get penalized for switching servers with a timer which racks up to 20 minutes sometimes which is completely ridiculous if you’re just trying to find a server that’s not running slow.

    Convoluted user instructions why can’t they just tell you what to do so slow it is completely useless. TOR is much faster! The website, which is not sided on the app, does give some explicit instructions however the VPN configuration says: “All network activity on this iPhone may be filtered or monitored when using VPN.“ I am confused – is it private or not?
  • Great apps but this latest update...

    Most recent update 6/24-7/24 kills battery constantly. Is the highest usage app on my iPhone. I know what the normal usage of their VPN is and this is a huge uptick. My usage is about the same every day. The battery drain right now is so atrocious I will be using a new VPN. My phone doubles as Medical device and right now I’m getting 4-5 hours of phone in total, just screen on time. Old review: I have been using the VPN, password vault, mail, and drive. The apps design is aligned pretty well along with seamless UI/UX. The only knock is this latest update to the VPN has been eating my battery somehow and i don't know what it is because every developer on the updates just says "bug fixes and performance"
