- Nice VPN
- Aris Alp
- Works perfectly, but its missing the feature to show previously connected locations at the top of the list or a way to favorite locations. That would make it a little better to use instead of always having to type in the location.
- Alain Inspirez
- Great VPN, protects me from a lot of things. Thanks!
- Nitro

- Josh
- A nice idea, but about half the time it does nothing but keep you off the internet all together.
- AgaiLazen
- Don't trust youtube ads, works perfectly and slips past VPN detectors. Not as intuitive to use but can't argue with the free plan being this good.

- Nice App to use and highly recommended
- Timothy Walbran
- Some excessive boasting and false advertising. Claim to offer access to all geoblocked content free without restrictions, but have a very restricted list of free server locations. Probaby useful to a very small number of countries (and their focus is clearly the EU).

- I’ve been using Proton VPN for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best VPNs I’ve tried. The connection is fast, stable, and secure. I really appreciate their strong focus on privacy and the fact that they don’t log user data. The interface is clean and easy to use, even for beginners. It works perfectly for browsing, streaming, and protecting my data on public Wi-Fi. Overall, Proton VPN is a reliable and trustworthy service — highly recommended!

- Excellent Speed, Lacks Essential Features and Design Polish (Needs Update) I am very satisfied with Proton VPN's core performance. The server speeds are excellent, and the connection is reliable—no complaints there. However, this review focuses specifically on the Chrome extension, which feels incredibly crippled and weak in terms of settings and features compared to competitors. Crucially, while functions like Split Tunneling technically exist, the extension lacks quick-access features. I cannot easily configure per-site settings (like disabling the VPN for the current domain) directly from the browser's context menu (right-click), which requires deep diving into the extension's main settings every time. This is a significant usability drawback compared to other VPN extensions. The UI is also extremely simplistic and dated. I recently switched over from NordVPN. Their extension recently received a huge update, and the visual design is beautiful, with all advanced features working flawlessly and quick-access options making the experience highly efficient. While the Proton VPN extension is acceptable as part of the broader Proton Unlimited subscription, in a pure one-on-one comparison against the NordVPN browser product, it subjectively falls short due to this lack of quality-of-life features. I really hope that future updates will significantly increase functionality and include a much-needed overhaul of the visual design. P.S. Please excuse any strange or awkward phrasing; English is not my native language.

- I love proton VPN
- TheTommyKay
- Im experiencing weird behavior when it comes to video streaming. Especially on YT. There is a really long pause before every video starts. It fluctuates between e few seconds to almost a minute at times. Literally 1 minute. I have tried changing servers and this always happens regardless of how near me the server is. Its the same if the server is in a neighboring country or a country on the other hemisphere. Also after i type a website address, i have to always hit F5 to reload the same page, otherwise it will say ''unable to connect''. I have tried different browsers, different servers and this always happens. As soon as i turn of the VPN, everything works fine. Other than that, its been a smooth sail for almost a year now. Hence the 4/5 instead of 5/5.

- Extension feels very clunky, like it's a low priority. if it closes then when you reopen it, you have to wait for it to load again when you reopen it. The ui is generally quite laggy, and it's hard to ignore that when I'm constantly having to reopen it to add yet another rapist website to my split-tunnelling exemption list. It would be nice to get some context menu commands to quickly add a site to the list in two clicks instead of, like, five
