Proton VPN Review

"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..."

"...VPN you really need to pay for it (though there are good mail options around $1 a month). Free tier Proton VPN is slower and you can't choose your server. The free email is oversensitive about the bots issue and you won't get much support (..."

"Proton VPN works for me these days with India server, but not Hong Kong. A bit slow though. It is very cheap for the the first month, so great return on investment for me. I prefer to use eSIM, but gotta use hotel WiFi to not drain the data..."

"ProtonVPN’s great because of the unlimited data, but yeah, those free servers can get sluggish during peak hours. Still solid if you don’t need high speed all the time."

"Is There Still a Good Free VPN Reddit Recommends in 2026? I needed a VPN quickly this week since I have been working from libraries and cafes more often and did not feel comfortable using public WiFi without some protection. I was not read..."

"Pretty fair take. Proton is solid for privacy, just not always the fastest option."

"ProtonVPN has been my go–to for cafe browsing – the free tier is slow sometimes but it never feels sketchy. I treat it as a quick shield, not a full privacy tool."

"I did some shopping and researching and am testing Proton for a month to see if I like it. It works pretty well, a little lag but I think I can choose better locations. I made the decision based on price and needs"

"same here. proton is safe but those free servers get overcrowded fast."

"Windscribe is the best choice in terms of unlocking many Netflix libraries than any VPN along and other major UK/NZ/USA streaming services. Some users with high bandwidth, like those over 500.Mbps, report slow speeds and lag (not less than ..."

"This is gonna be so dumb, but... I typically have no idea what vpn is used for, and i do not sue it in my daily life becuase it slows my connection speed that is already struggling. I used proton on my mobile device since i cant pay for vpn..."

"Proton is an exception. Their free variant is slower and doesn't allow file-sharing anyway "

"Best free VPN for everyday privacy use right now? i've been testing a bunch of free VPNs lately (Proton free, Windscribe free, TunnelBear, Hotspot Shield free) and most of them feel too limited for daily use. Either the speeds drop hard on..."

"When I tested ProtonVPN with Tor it felt painfully sluggish. I get why people trust it, but stacking Tor on top of it was just too much overhead on the free tier."

"Glad to hear that you are happy with them. I am just going by a lot of YouTube and social media reviews on the top VPN services. They are always number 4 in line behind Express, Nord, and SurfShark in the ratings. They are not known for the..."

"Let’s start with the features removed. The map that so many loved and allowed us to distinguish where we were logged into city wise or country, was taken down. Nord by their own admission has had many complaints since removing this map, a..."

"Your experience is unique to you. Others, specially those that stream, see Proton as a very slow speed VPN service, with also far less servers and locations then the top VPN services."

"I’ve been using express vpn for years. It has a kill switch and is super fast. I bought proton’s Black Friday deal hoping to save money, but it’s way slower and doesnt work very good with a few apps on my shield. The app that’s call..."

"I’ve been using express VPN in Ireland all week. I bought the Black Friday deal for proton as expressVPN is more expensive than most. I will not be renewing proton as it’s much slower."
