Desktop and mobile apps work fine. But the extension does not. If Proton VPN is blocked in your country, like it is in mine, you will need to use a separate vpn to log into this extension (lol), and when you would hop off that other vpn, the proton extension by itself will cease to work. Because it makes requests to endpoints that are blocked at my location. The contemporary Uroboros example, lol. You have to be connected to the vpn in the first place in order to connect to it. Desktop and an... Show more

Sorry to hear that. If you're located in a restrictive country that's blocking VPN connections, issues such as this can be expected. You can try connecting to a different network, if possible, to see how it goes. If there are no improvements, contact us at https://protonvpn.com/support-form so we can assist you further.

It's crazy how many people are bombing the reviews for this extension, when it's great. Even if there are occasional issues (which I haven't experienced yet in the extension) it's still a great, trustworthy company that doesn't keep keep logs like nordvpn does (they track downloads).

The connection is super fast and the extension is easy to use. However, I would like to see the following improvements in future updates: > Faster reconnection when opening the browser after a reboot. Currently, there’s a brief period where my IP address is exposed before the Proton VPN extension connects. Here’s what happens: 1. After rebooting your computer, you open your browser. 2. The Proton VPN Browser extension starts in a disconnected state and attempts to reconnect. 3. During this ... Show more

Used to work well now it loses access to a server after a while and I have to swap or restart browser it is unusable, as a visionary user I'm immensely disappointed.

Unauthorized charges to my account, didn't honour money back guarantee, charged twice the advertised price for an add-on service that I didn't agree to buy. Pro VPN stopped working after a month when I requested a refund, they didn't give the refund though. I had to do a chargeback, and then they my blocked my account, so can't access my free account now. They want me to pay access fees to get the passwords and emails in my account that I had for years on the free plan. Brilliant apps tho

Auto-sign in doesn't work. Always required to go to some website to log in. And that page doesn't work without some other VPN. Proton, c\mon, we thank you for all your help, but you make it impossible to use your extension in places where freedom is a cuss word.

In order to use this VPN you need another VPN to sign in on a webpage. LOL Proton, are you enjoying torturing people who are already tortured enough by their governments? Why not allow signing in within the extension?
