Exellent! For me it is not as much about using a VPN for privacy as it is for quality of the service and connection. Untill Proton,every single vpn I ever used cut off and left me online. I used every possible fix ,directions from them,and setting to keep my connection off if the should be interrupted. Each one failed and more than once. None gave me more speed. So far it has not shut down one time. It has many connections available and has percent of each one listed! Awesome. Recommended.

Fast connections all over the world. Set up and use is very easy. I've tested speeds with and without the VPN and they're always nearly identical, so it doesn't slow you down. The exception being if you're connecting to another continent, but that's to be expected. Even then the speeds are still great. The integrated ad blocking by itself makes this a great app. They also regularly get independent audits proving they don't log data. By far the best VPN out there and worth the subscription!

App worked for about 3 weeks, no issues, I have auto updates off and go through and manually do it every day. One day (no update) it just stopped tunneling my traffic. It SAID it was connected, and acted as if it was, but checking my IP with a handful of online tools revealed that there was either a DNS leak (settings are set to only let traffic through the tunnel, w/o exception), or failure. Love your email, the VPN needa some work, but definitely has some potential. Great UI. (Paid version).

That doesn’t sound right. Could you share some more details about the issue? Have you tried switching protocols? Are you using any other VPNs on the same device? Are you using any firewall or antivirus? Contact us at https://protonvpn.com/support-form with screenshots so that we can further assist you.
