Proton VPN Review

"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."

"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 we..."

"+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 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..."

"ProtonVPN is 100% better in terms of privacy and reputation. And, speed still comes close to Nord. Both are excellent for normal usage tho. Some of my friends prefer Nord over Proton(they play games) for very unknown reasons. "

"...e an issue; and if it is, I doubt it is significant. I've never had fundamental speed problems with Proton VPN. Obviously it may be different for you. But as others have said, just try. I suspect many complain about Proton are using the Fre..."

"ProtonVPN Review in 2026: Any thoughts? Using the internet today feels a lot less private than it used to. Between constant ads following you around and the risks of public WiFi, I felt like a VPN was no longer optional. I have been using ..."

"You could always go for ProtonVPN, that is a pretty good option and is much faster as well. They do have a free plan, however you don't choose the servers and it's only for 1 device. But it's one of the most secure VPN's out there (besides ..."

"Best for privacy: MullVad, CopVPN, ProtonVPN. Best for speed: Surfshark, Express, NordVPN."

"... to peer file sharing, it has been valuable. You missed all the Black Friday sales for VPNs. I use proton vpn free on my phone, I have a different paid one that works better on my computer. The speed slowdown is minimal on my phone and non..."

"Just got back from Chengdu and Chongqing. Read on a lot of threads that Proton VPN wasn't working in China, NordVPN did the job. Took a 30 days free VPN for the holiday... NordVPN didn't allow me to connect to any server. Funny enough Proto..."

"I’ve had proton for years. Even bought their 2 year pass last August and haven’t had a single issue with speed"

"I’ve never had an issue with the speed of proton even when going. From Belgium into Switzerland. Streaming is great. You do have an option for fasts connections but I have never found the need to use thst feature."

"Regardless of wether you stream or not proton hasn't been slow in my case(I do understand that varies for some users), I get my full 1000mbps connection just fine with it. Now as far as locations go sure I can see wanting one with servers i..."

"Proton and Mullvad are solid if you want security without killing your speed."

"Same here. Been using Proton for months and it has been smooth."

"Proton also announced they will be releasing more 100gb vpn servers , only one available now is in Amsterdam but after they roll that out more widely , congestion in some areas should drastically decrease. Speeds are already very good in mo..."

"Mullvad for everything but streaming, proton works well streaming with fast servers mostly but it works and there’s a lot to choose from. Free service for select servers paid us where it’s at"

"@shanrocksnwa Proton free VPN is good and fast"

"@firasmodad Use Proton free VPN. Always works for me. Connect to the Netherlands or any EU for fast internet"

"@ProtonVPN That sneak private tracker looking at this post like 👀 I've to confess, I expected Proton VPN to suck ass based on my experience of the past, but being able to see 20GB "flying" in just 5min, I mean 🫶😌 Protect this service at all costs."

"...still am with few thousands spent 🤣 Then got introduced to private trackers, dude, 20GB in 5 minutes. It's unreal, and everything is routed via Proton VPN, no VPN = No goodies!"

"I have been using ProtonVPN for months and speeds have been mostly stable for me, especially on nearby servers. Support answered once within a day, so I would not say it completely fell off, but results probably depend on location."

"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."

"Same here, Proton has been pretty smooth for me too."

"Proton worked fine for me when I was there a month back. Stayed for a month. But the best VPN is still LetsVPN, just use that one on “Hong Kong” servers. It has always worked for me, even Chinese people use it"

"Mullvad is slower compared to proton. But its sometbing you can trust your privacy with. In most cases proton is better but mullvad is like that trustworthy neighbor who is just there for you in your time of need. It is also technically ch..."

"You're not wrong, they're just not telling you the whole story 😉 A VPN does hide your traffic from your ISP, but now that encrypted traffic is just visible to your VPN provider instead . So the real question becomes: who do you trust more? Based on their public posture, Proton is one of the better answers. They're Swiss-based, which has strong privacy laws outside major surveillance alliances..."

"Been using #ProtonVPN for a while now, and for me, I'm getting faster speeds than I did with #ExpressVPN"

"NoLog VPN Reviews in 2026: Is it Legit? I came across an app called NoLog VPN recently while browsing through some smaller VPN options on the Play Store. I had not seen it mentioned much in the usual free VPN Reddit discussions, but the na..."

"I've been using it for years for streaming mostly and it gets the job done. I'm not in there for privacy just sreaming (netflix I have not tested) However, for heavily censored networks, I have to use free windscribe and proton. Pure does..."

"@TradFidiGuy @ReclaimTheNetHQ Also, Proton VPN has a free version Paid proton performance is better"

"@T3chFalcon Proton has probably the most locked in no-log policy of all the VPNs, but their speed is not as fast as other VPN providers (Prob 30-50% less in some cases). IIRC the USA pressured the Swiss government that then pressured Proton to share the logs of someone and Proton said no."

"Thanks! How’s mullvad for speed compared to proton? I’m mainly looking for strong privacy and good torrenting performance, especially with features like a kill switch."

"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 ..."

"Proton's products are very good, but their fear mongering media campaigns are bad. As well as that they continue doing business with russians, including hosting VPN servers there. Once it connected me to the belarusian server as "fastest country". To give me more surveillance 🤷"

"...VPN. It's truly anonymous. No email needed, you can even pay in cash if you want. No logs. I get way better download speeds with them than I did with Proton VPN, which slowed to a halt after about 2gb. Based in Sweden 🐐 €5 about $5.50 per month. Worth it!"

"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, ..."
