    При запуске требует "Войти". Окно ввода не открывается. Однако, если запущен другой VPN, окно "Войти" открывается! Зачем нужен этот VPN, который не запустить без другого VPN?!

    Esta aplicación no es free para nada, si o si te obliga a pasar por caja primero.
    No merece la pena, para pagar las hay mejores que esta.

    We do have a Free plan that costs $0 and allows you to secure your internet connection with no ads, no logs, and provides the same level of privacy and security as our paid plans. Anyone can sign up for our Free plan, and we don't ask for any payment details during signup.

    The extension keeps logging me out after restarting the browser. It has been happening for months.

    We are aware of this issue and our team is working on a fix, although we don't have an ETA at the moment. For the time being, as a workaround, you can log out of the browser extension, restart your browser, and when logging back in, select 'Keep me signed in'. This should keep you logged in and only ask you to log back in periodically.

    Это гениально, чтобы включить vpn приложение, нужно сначала зайти на заблокированный сайт этого приложения!
    Как я на него зайду, если для этого и скачиваю это приложение чтобы открывать заблокированные сайты?
    то есть надо сначала найти другой VPN, чтобы установить этот
    Где логика?
    идиотизм

    Can't even select a server in free tier

    I read through other reviews and stumbled across EnbyTea's review. This is exactly what my frustration is:
    > free version is useless since you can't select countries in it anymore. If you're going to pay money for a VPN do it elsewhere.

    The developer's response is also useless:
    > The default auto-connect option will connect you to the fastest available server for you. This leads to better load balancing and higher speed, which is a priority for free users. That said, you still have the option to switch to another randomly allocated server by disconnecting and reconnecting again, or you can upgrade to connect to a specific server of your choice (["URLs are not allowed." says mozilla]).

    If you are providing free version, do it right. This does not make any sense to just randomly connect to some random freaking server. You either make a really good free version or none at all. Everything in between will ALWAYS result in extremely terrible user experience. This is why, I will never be upgrading. I will just go ahead and find other extension for a better free experience.

    Our mission is to make online privacy accessible to all, and that's why we offer a Free plan that costs $0. Our free VPN has no ads, no logs, and is as secure & private as our paid plans. It's made possible thanks to the support from our paid users, and NOT your data. With that in mind, certain features and functionalities are necessarily available only on our paid plans.

    Dude, I can't even access anything from how slow it is on Free. I can't even access YouTube or anything, no website can load.

    That doesn't sound right. Connection speeds can be influenced by numerous factors such as your native ISP speed, location, server load, network setup, etc. You could try some of the tips at https://protonvpn.com/support/increase-vpn-speeds to improve your connection speeds. If the issue persists, contact us at https://protonvpn.com/support-form so we can assist you further.

    We're sorry about that. Unfortunately, Russia is one of the restrictive countries that are blocking VPN connections, which is the reason you're experiencing this issue. Our team is working hard on improving our infrastructure and our protocols so that all our users are able to connect. We will continue to make more improvements to enhance service availability despite the ongoing blocking attempts.

    Прекрасно работает на телефоне, никаких нареканий.
    Не работает на ПК, ни с приложения ни с браузера. В том числе и с платных серверов.

    Proton VPN a fonctionné quelques semaines, mais depuis assez longtemps maintenant (trop longtemps) il plante sur "En attente d'un serveur disponible" et peut rester ainsi des heures. ce 'truc' ne fonctionne pas.

    Bonjour, pouvez-vous confirmer que vous utilisez l'add-on pour Firefox (car celle-ci ne contient pas de texte "En attente d'un serveur disponible"). Pourrait-il s'agir d'un problème avec la version desktop ?

    Dans tous les cas, je vous encourage à vous rendre sur protonvpn.com/support-form pour que le service client puisse analyser le problème et comprendre pourquoi la connexion ne fonctionne pas sur votre appareil.

    Десктопная версия на win7 не работает

    I've used Proton VPN for a long time and I've never encountered a bigger pile of hot garbage, than this ridiculous extension. Works when and IF it wants to. More headache than protection.

    Hello,

    I would recommend to download the desktop application instead in such case, you can do it from GitHub which hopefully shouldn't be geo-blocked:
    Windows: github.com/ProtonVPN/win-app/releases
    macOS: github.com/ProtonVPN/ios-mac-app/releases
    Linux: should be available via apt, yum, etc.
