- I've used quite a few VPN's in my time, currently subscribed to PIA and Windscribe, but I heard a lot of good reports about Proton on Reddit, and even my AI recommends it too, so I thought give the free version a try, see what it is like, and I'm shocked that it actually matches my speed of my paid providers, and so far it's chrome extension is working too, unlike the extension for PIA & Windscribe that seem to block things from loading in Chrome browser until I disable them, so I shall be giving Proton's plus service a try once my other subscriptions end. Excellent job guys, keep up the great work.
- Fred Teumer
- Fast, reliable, and simple VPN.
- shom cott
- works excellent for my needs
- Liu Johnny
- this is so nice, things i cant use, boom now you can
- Dan Evans
- works great!!
- My Books Learning Portal
- I'm an experienced user of VPNs and antivirus software. If you're not using this company's services for your security, you're missing out on something important. I would entrust them with my financial data without hesitation. That's how reliable they are.
- Tamás Béki (BTomiii)
- Works well at home, but totally fails on work network. It doesn't load any site, so it's useless. But still, because it works well at home, a cannot give it a worse rating.
- John G
- Works for me and its free!!!
- Monorail Blindness
- Works well, just lacks a way to favorite servers or pin countries to the top of the list.

- In some occasion you really need a VPN to a random country and that is fast enough. Like when you are located in UK but you need to read an instruction with a lot of imgur images but they are blocked by UK's Online Safety Act.
- FIREFOXNEWS ONLINE™
- I would give it 5 stars but a 4 star rating is not bad, now if Proton VPN adds or makes the VPN even better for us & we do see it, well then I will go a full 4 star rating. Fair enough..?
- Wiktor Jorgensen
- People giving this 1 stars because it isn’t free is wild. Good VPNs aren’t free, you’re paying for privacy and speed. Free VPNs make money somehow, and it’s usually by selling your data. Stop being bums and expecting premium services for nothing.

- not free giving money
- Jack Bialobrzeski
- Just the best!
- Ashharu
- Honest review: The best VPN, until now, I use only the Free one, on my phone also (clean without ads, stable) and I experienced a very good service. Recommend it. Still my first day on my browser. Update soon. Thank you Proton.
- Elizabeth Kazuki
- very good for your web and safety
- Jan
- On my phone Proton VPN works flawlessly - I'm satisfied. As a browser extension on my laptop though it's 180° different. It works fine for some time (say around 5-10min on average) and then websites stop loading for some reason. I end up switching it off to continue work thus losing the whole point of having the extension in the first place.
- Fawaz Alesayi

- S H Rawe (Sandy)
- I only have had one of my banking sites that requires me to turn off Proton to access my account, but they said I should understand why they need protection against some websites. But it is easy to turn it back on and be safe . I have used Proton in Europe and the US and Canada easily. I like that it can be located In different places. It makes Vivaldi a safe browser to travel with. Thank you.
- Vivaldi
- Vivaldi browser with Proton Pass makes it simple to generate encrypted passwords that are then managed in Vivaldi password manager. It's seamless and takes the worry out of keeping track of your passwords. Winning combination. Proton VPN is already installed in Vivaldi.
- Recovery Phone
- Very needy about writing reviews or rating a product that I already paid for. This is the second time this week alone. Blocking the ability to connect behind a review popup that needs dealt with before the extension is useable is poor design. It worked though, I left a review...
- Erwin R Arcila Quiroz
- genial!!!
- Adam Butt
- Loved this one
- Connor Jackman
- Works well, faster than expected, and no hesitations. Great product overall
- MHT
- When it works, it works great, however after a day of not using, it always straight up REFUSES to connect to anything. The only fix is to uninstall and install the extension again. Very annoying. If fixed, 5 stars
- Tashja
- I love it both desktop and extension but unfortunately it doesn't run it anymore on my android 7 nougat i know but cant afford a new box but despite that I still love it but bring it up in the next team meeting okay hahaha :)
