- Does the job, but it does it in the most basic and annoying way possible, for example you can't set up a default country (i.e. USA) and you instead have to constantly scroll down and activate your country of choice manually every time you want to use it because it resets the list position back to the beginning any time you click on anything...
This wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that you can't invert split-tunnelling — I literally only want to use the VPN for one or two sites that I have data on that are blocked in the UK but I can't without it causing problems everywhere else — so I have to continuously Connect/Disconnect via the long-winded means I mentioned above every time I want to use those sites.
Other than that, no issues, but I won't be resubscribing as it's really too much faffing about for something that you should be able to set up as a one-click connect. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ridiculous_George, 2 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18835325, 3 days agoProton's full suite of services has been great for me and I have had no issues whatsoever with Proton VPN. Sure the paid version is way better (that's what I use) but I used the free version for a while first. I can't think of many other free offerings that have a proven track record of caring about your data. If all you care about is getting around certain online Acts - proton free is perfect. For me - the paid version is exceptional.

posted 13 days agoThank you for your review. Could you describe the behavior further? We'd be more than happy to help, but we need to have a clear understanding of the issue first.

Everything is so great in the service and this plugin particularly. Also, I'd like to mention that Proton helps to so many low-on-fund people by giving them opportunity to use it free (with random location).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Nick, 16 days agoHaving an issue with the split tunnelling not working. When trying to watch a Youtube video it will endlessly buffer if connected to certain counties, even though I have it and all subdomains excluded from the VPN connection. The video will load when connected to my home country, so something about the subdomain exclusion isn't working as intended.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Halbour, 17 days agoa great extension. works well without bloat in it. For free users, this is especially good, since you can protect your privacy on the internet for $0. This is honestly awesome, and the only free VPN I'd trust.
- Rated 3 out of 5by User, 19 days agoHello, glad to see that these reviews are actively monitored and responded to. A major issue that I have had with this extension for ages is that I cannot pin certain locations to the top of the country list, or set a certain location as default as is possible in the mobile app versions of ProtonVPN. It is tedious to have to always search or scroll far down to get to the desired location. Please add this feature.
