Proton VPN Review

"Proton VPN or Mullvad VPN are the best choices. Not owned by big companies and are privacy focused to the core!"

"Proton vpn is the goat, proton pass is the goat, the entire proton environment is amazing. I get way better speeds with proton vpn than I did with nord and the UI is so much smoother."

"Proton VPN: Lousy performance. Lousy service. Proton VPN turned my VNPT ADSL into lousy. And their 'Support', when you get any, jsut ignores the problem/s,and when i asked for a frefund after a month of lousy performance and complaints, some arrogant bastard just told me “too late for '30 Day Guarantee'” **Location: Vietnam, VNPT. Wired Cat5, nothing exotic.** **Without Proton (baseline):** * nPerf to Singapore: \~950 Mbps down, \~240 Mbps up, \~48 ms ping. * Browsing + streaming scores in the “good” range. * Cloudflare and other tests: low latency, no packet loss, everything sna..."

"Proton VPN does NOT work in China The proton bots have been out in full force spreading disinformation that proton VPN is a workable VPN solution in China and also downvoting people (including myself) who speak the truth that proton VPN does NOT work in China. I am a former proton user who is fed up with their lies and slimeball sales tactics. For added measure I’ve attached a screenshot of an email response from a proton rep to me last month clearly admitting that their service has been entirely disrupted by the GFW. https://www.reddit.com/r/travelchina/s/kOY837x4LU"

"I highly recommend PROTON VPN best service for torrenting in my opinion and its worth the monthly subscription"

"ProtonVPN let's you use it for free on one computer. They're probably the only entity that I actually trust to care about privacy"

"I've been using ProtonVPN since day one with first pfsense (IPsec) and then Firewalla (Wireguard). rock solid in both cases."

"ProtonVPN has been the most reliable choice for me. I previously tried Surfshark during a Black Friday deal, but ended up requesting a refund because of persistent connectivity issues. After researching on Reddit, the top recommendations were Mullvad and ProtonVPN. I ultimately chose ProtonVPN because the pricing is reasonable and it integrates smoothly with Proton Pass and Proton Mail. As of November 2025, it has been the best VPN experience I’ve had, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a trustworthy and stable VPN service."

"Proton VPN, 100% no questions asked. Open source codebase, full end-to-end encryption, no user data logs, and protected by Swiss data privacy laws which are some of the strictest in the world. The Swiss government practically never honors data requests from foreign government agencies or law enforcement except under very serious circumstances like suspected terrorism. There's a reason white collar criminals hide their money away in Swiss bank accounts. With that said, you can rest easy knowing that they won't be selling your data to other companies either. Your data would be completely use..."

"Same. Chose Proton out of all of them. Haven’t regretted it once. Hasn’t failed me once."

"Mullvad or Proton are top of the list. I've never heard of Witopia but they're US based so they get a hard NO from me. Mullvad and Proton do not log activity and they prove it with 3rd party audits. I read somewhere recently that one of them, Mullvad or Proton, was raided by authorities 2x in the last couple of years. Both times they got nothing. There were no log files to be got."

"Been using Proton for years. Love all their products."

"+1 Switched to proton after its free version outperformed surfshark/nord/express/PIA paid versions (I had access to all). 11 months in and still the right choice. I still try the others from time to time to check in"

"proton is my holygrail"

"@ProtonMail @RevolverJerm Been with Proton since early 2020, now using Proton Duo. Proton's a priority / privacy focused company! I also appreciate their support for folks in countries who'd be in trouble without Proton products! Anyone questions this, search privacy Email / privacy VPN... TOP rated!"

"@CryptoCyberia The VPN sucks and has leaked my real IP on many occasions. Zero reason to chose proton over mullvad."

"BREAKING: PROTON CAN SEE YOUR EMAILS AND COULD LOG OR DIVERT YOUR VPN TRAFFIC!!!!"

"@ProtonMail EVER PROVIDER CAN SEE YOUR EMAILS... ALSO... PROTON VPN SUCKS... I used to have pia and it was SOO much better."

"Do not ever use Proton VPN / Mail it's a CIA honeypot"

"@ProtonVPN I USED PROTON VPN AND MY INTERNET BROKE I USED PROTON VPN AND MY INTERNET BROKE I USED PROTON VPN AND MY INTERNET BROKE but seriously, your VPN broke my internet connection on Win11 and the only fix was to uninstall after spending half a day tampering with drivers."

"@ProtonVPN @PlayStation i am now going to recommend against proton vpn to all my friends and family. this post has made me view the proton brand in a lesser light and i will be suggesting against it to everyone i meet."

"@bamwinejnr Proton VPN, the master of all"

"@ProtonMail but i love you proton vpn <3"

"@ug_2s Proton VPN is Goated 🙌"

"@EnanR_ Proton vpn is the best if you are using an iphone"

"@DoingFedTime @JackRhysider #proton is aids proton is actively accepting funds from WEF and EU funds. This can be publically verified. Proton has fckd not 1 not 2 but 3 activists now. Thats a pattern ! i dont see MullVad doing this shit?! https://t.co/JRKYS8iavm"

"@Proton_Pass My phone always runs Proton VPN 24/7 and my primary email is Proton. Proton is great company and the free versions are fire too!"

"@NewtonAllan6 Download PROTON VPN. The team at @ProtonVPN really did a good job. It's a monster."

"@ProtonVPN @MicrosoftEdge Omg proton VPN I love you thank you for saving my life 😍😍"

"I suggest looking into the iOS and macOS guides by PrivacyGuides respectively to optimize the system settings: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/ios-overview/ https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/macos-overview/ Surfshark was not the best idea to be honest, it's owned by the same entity as NordVPN; in general you should be avoiding Tesonet, they also have a data mining arm called Oxylabs. Three companies including Tesonet own most of the VPN market, avoid all three: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/3-companies-control-many-big-name-vpns-what-you-need-to-know/ For VPN I woul..."

"It's not the best in terms of privacy. Mullvad and Proton VPN are the two best in this regard."

"Personally,I am running Ubuntu with Chromium browser,since Chromium browsers are a lot more secure than Firefox based (Gecko).For privacy, you cant go wrong with Librewolf (Mullvald/Tor If you want to be anonymous).You could install Proton VPN (free, best vpn along with Mullvald vpn) as a extension or app."

"Mullvad ja ProtonVPN. Protonilla on ihan kiva ilmainenkin plan jos ei ole tarvetta valita maata itse."

"I have Bitdefender it is a really good I have premium security it scans better than Eset and it has good mobile app as well however wouldn't use the VPN nor securepass because there better options such as Proton VPN and Proton Pass as well Mullvad for a VPN"

"ProtonVPN has been the biggest for accessing things banned in the UK. As for Bitdefender, Amazon also tends to sell keys cheap. As an antivirus it's one of if not the best."

"Been using ProtonVPN and all their other apps. People might scoff at paying for an email, or calander app, but the VPN+Cloud storage is worth it for me. I was also a windscribe user for years and have no complaints"

"Best free ones are gonna be either proton VPN or windscribe free. If you can get a paid Mullvad is only approximately €5 a month ($5.91). All of these are reputable VPNs."

"so yeah as other people are saying it depends, if it is a government or ISP Geo block a VPN will most likely bypass it, that is unless your ISP has blocked VPN port forwarding. Recommendations? i recommend ProtonVPN or Norton (Proton is the best free option)"

"I'm assuming he's mentioning the Proton ecosystem, as well as how protonvpn logs your ip (also your device fingerprint) on registering. Which makes a lot of people think it's a honeypot or some kind of scam. I recently left all of proton services for more trustable services like Mullvad."

"ProtonVPN 🫵🏻👌🏻"

"I'm happy with ProtonVPN."

"Proton VPN is good in free tier. You will not have any nice features like port forwarding, split tunneling or killswitch but it will work for web browsing and connecting to internet from a device. In my case on 800mbs I am getting about 720-790mbs so there is no big speed loss."

"I've been using proton VPN for a bit now. It's very easy to set up and works pretty well. They also support port forwarding which not a lot of VPN providers do. "
