Proton VPN Review

"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 ..."

"... 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 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..."

"Currently in China and I’m having no issues at all with Proton. Just pressed fastest country and connected straight away to a Singapore server."

"I use proton free and have no issues at all. On android box you do get a few locations to actually choose. On my phone I don't, not sure why, guess a different version. "

"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"

"@Murithire Tafuta proton vpn ni free connect to albania, hai allow you tube ads. Now access you tube using chrome browser. Eka desktop version. Play what you want to play, press home button or recent button. Ita pause but kwa notification panel utaona what is playing, click play"

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

"ProtonVPN (USA server - free version) and Bitdefender (Argentina & USA servers) are not being blocked in hidive.com/login ExpressVPN (USA server) is getting blocked, though. Weird..."

"ProtonVPN is best for free use, but their servers are selected randomly. You can also try CopVPN; their free version provides 7 locations, and you can easily change it."

"...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 (..."

"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."

"This reads like astroturfing. Regardless though, Witopia is incredibly overpriced for the service they offer and I have frankly never heard of them before this post. >However, they are more expensive, have less servers to chose from, c..."

"I'm very happy with Proton VPN, but dont understand why different servers gave different results. For example, reading newspaper sites. With a US server I can log in and comment on stories. But with the UK servers, despite it being the home..."

"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"

"@princess_kim_k They changed US servers, use an international location Proton VPN is free and easy to use"

"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..."

"@Brian_Murphy_ @Rolex24Hours There's a legit vpn called proton VPN and it's free but you are only restricted to geographic locations. Try to see if one of those three countries allows you to watch the international feed on YouTube."

"@rrenstudies I just use Proton VPN, which is free 😅 The best countries are Canada, Switzerland, Norway, and parts of the US 🙂‍↕️"

"@Grok please translate to indonesia language how To use a VPN in Indonesia: 1. Download a free/reputable app like Proton VPN or ExpressVPN from your app store (Google Play or Apple). 2. Install, create an account (some have free trials). 3. Open the app, connect to a server in another country (e.g., Singapore or US). 4. Once connected, try accessing Grok again. VPNs are legal for personal use..."

"If you wanna use a VPN for **privacy** , it truly does me great contradiction as to how thee conclude to belive some provider giving you free candy. I'd understand if it were for anything other than privacy. With that being said, ProtonVPN ..."

"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"

"@Steorie @attbc_ @frmeong it was called proton vpn if I remember correctly, it’s free but you just have to make sure it’s not connecting you to uk/us"

"@opolot_ronnie Try Proton VPN. That mf always throws me in Rwanda, and today it has thrown me back to Uganda!!"

"@firasmodad Nope, just you/your VPN. Proton -> Netherlands, no issue."

"I use Proton Vpn. Its £8.99 pm full cover and choice of servers settings. They also have a free service which I'm using at the moment, I'll subscribe again if it comes to that. You will have to bounce around a bit and change servers until you get to America on the free service. I haven't tried any others so there may well be cheaper or better services out there."

"@DanielJHannan Fine. I'll just use the Proton app which centres me on a foreign VPN server. Then I'll get X if I want it. This is CENSORSHIP folks!"

"Best Monthly VPN to Use in 2026 Without Committing Long-Term? I only needed a VPN for a brief trip overseas recently and did not want to commit to a long subscription like most providers try to push. I spent some time reading free VPN Redd..."

"Mullvad is highly reputable, but I don't know much about it. Seems to be widely agreed on as the best, though. Proton is free, unless you want to actually choose your vpn location (albania), in which case, you can pay $1 USD/month for their basic subscription. Neither will overheat your phone, but a vpn can lower the time it takes to load web pages/apps."

"I use gluetun to access protonVPN over wireguard. I specify Irelan, Netherlands, France as server countries."

"Is Goose VPN Worth Using or Just Another Average Option? I ended up trying Goose VPN a few days ago after stumbling across it while looking into lighter VPN options. I rarely see it mentioned in free VPN discussions on Reddit, but the shor..."

"@FinOcean149035 @PeterSweden7 @opera @ProtonVPN @Ofcom No one uses UK VPN servers because they sensor content."

"hackernews blocked my home IP because I happened to try to build a news aggregator that routes the feed into several apps in the making per prediction market spread arb opportunities and they allow via proton or mullvad native swiss traffic though. infra providers need to work on this that some geeks just wanna API the entire galaxy."

"@HitDaWallAgain @WarFrontIntel Um. No. Proton VPN routes to ... whichever one of the 127 countries you select to connect to https://t.co/R2utwZAY8U"

"Psiphon Pro, IPVanish, ProtonVPN (only some countries work though) all mainstream VPNs are blocked."

"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 ..."

"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..."

"@ProtonMail What's up with the recent upticks with having Russian and India based servers? I thought Proton swept them under the rug years ago? Same with Nord and a few other VPN providers. I'm assuming the situation within Russia has calmed down? Same with India's govt?"

"@romain280_ @ProtonVPN @MayaMatt_ @PlayStation And all of those services are stupid for hosting servers in a surveillance state. Several of the big VPNs like ExpressVPN, CyberGhost etc are owned by Israeli companies completely."

"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 🤷"

"Prizepicks VPN: How Was It? I was in California last weekend visiting some friends, and I had no idea PrizePicks wasn’t allowed there until I opened the app and got hit with a location block. It caught me off guard because I already had ..."

"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."
