VPN Proton Customer Insights

1. Not to mention I had always on VPN enabled, and then it wasn't, so I'm going to assume an update disabled it >:( It would be better to enable Always on VPN in an update, than to turn it off.So far has been solid for me, the connection speed is both impressively high and is also stable which is great, the design of the app is also yet another thing which i applause it for, 0 UI bugs, loving the shortcut for the control centre, loving the stealth protocol and everything else, i just wish that it was easier to connect to servers, don't get me wrong it's not the worst, some VPNs don't even connect whilst this does, but it is slow and you often have to switch servers if it doesn't co...It's actually an amazing VPN, but after clearing all app preferences and cached data, it disconnected from the VPN.

2. The only reason for 4 stars is that it seems like every server I connect to is flagged as a bot, so I can't stay connected without doing a ton of captcha challenges... Edit: customer support was super helpful and helped me work out a reasonable workaround while they work on boosting the reputation of their servers.Since the latest updates and the arrival of "plus" servers, I have had trouble with my other apps.

3. I can't connect to my home cameras because I receive an "authentication" error, YouTube constantly says issues time out errors, and other apps don't work unless I select the proper VPN server (which is a guessing game).

4. You could possibly get it to not be present (lil icon) if it's in the silent section of the notification bar.Easy to use for those that aren't super familiar with VPNs, but has tons of nifty extras if you like to tinker.

5. However, there are so many apps that don't work when the VPN is on, that I am not sure how useful this app is: for example all my Chilean banks detect the VPN connection and they stop working.

6. Also, the ability to watch video platforms across regions doesn't always work, particularly with Disney+.Been using for years.

7. All and all, I'm pretty happy with Proton VPN.It is fast and has access to servers in many countries.

8. But they give you a setting to attempt to circumvent that*All of Proton's apps have a top-notch user experience, and this is no exception.

9. That being said, it's super easy to turn off and on with little wait to connect and disconnect.

10. Good job, Proton!Very secure VPN app, was new to VPNs and had no trouble navigating around.

11. My only gripe (not even a big one) is that I feel it would provide a more private air if there wasn't a constant notification in my notification bar that it was on.
