- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19538649, 3 days agoI have Proton’s most advanced plan, including their full suite of services and the VPN. I’ve been using it for over a month and it works well. It does exactly what I expect from it.
Advice for those using Proton VPN on PC:
A small trick if you can protect more than one device with Proton. Exclude the browser from the software and let the extension handle the VPN. Your usage will be more flexible that way. - Rated 3 out of 5by SnigePippi, 3 days agoWorked mostly fine the last 3 weeks. Now I've had to disable it as it is blocking my connection. Hope it will be solved, but it's turned off for now.

posted 3 days agoThat doesn't sound right. Would you mind describing the issue further? Are you experiencing no internet access while connected to the extension? If so, are you receiving any error messages perhaps? We'd be more than happy to help you troubleshoot, but we need some basic details to work with. Contact us by clicking on Help in the Proton VPN extension, then selecting 'Contact us' so we can assist you. - Rated 5 out of 5by PeeWeeDee, 4 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by fulluphigh, 6 days agoHonestly the worst extension I've ever used. Idk, maybe all vpn extensions are garbage, but holy hell this is garbage. Are they even trying? Will constantly crash in such a way that you have to completely disable it to use your browser in any way shape or form, and completely uninstall it and then reinstall it to get it to work again. Sometimes even after disabling and re-enabling it, it'll still stop working a minute later.
And don't misunderstand me. By constantly, I mean literally every time you use it after your computer has slept. Honestly, at this point I'm giving up, uninstalling it, and reporting it to mozilla, for breaking the browser.
And don't give me the "That doesn't sound right, can you share more details" bull, there are literally a hundred reviews saying the exact same thing. Try using your own product and figuring it out on your own.Developer response
posted 4 days agoSorry to hear that. Our team is aware of the issue and working on a fix, although we currently don’t have a specific timeframe that we can share. We’ve made sure to document your report for further investigation while this is being sorted out. - Rated 3 out of 5by alepanierafale, 6 days agoProblem polega na tym, że to rozszerzenie w pewien sposób się blokuje. Przy ponownym uruchamianiu przeglądarki Firefox nie ma do niego dostępu, tak jakby wciąż się wczytuje, a proces ten nie kończy się. A zatem skorzystanie w pełni z tego rozwiązania nie jest możliwe, ponieważ dopóki rozszerzenie nie połączy się z serwerem, to strony nie wczytują się. Aby rozwiązać ten problem należy wyłączyć rozszerzenie i następnie ponownie je włączyć. To bardzo upierdliwe.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14322377, 9 days agoWorks as you'd expect, and the UI is very responsive, albeit bare-bones feature wise. An option to pin or favorite specific countries to have them show up at the top of the list, or profiles, would be nice (but that's what the standalone app is for I suppose).

Can be blocked by ISPs however so you won't be able to use it in all situations. Would be nice if it had a way to attempt to connect to unblocked server IPs and report blocked attempts so Proton can continue to provide a great service.
