- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15269423, 12 days ago[WasteOfTime] Proton sounds so legit n rightous, - but if you look close things change fast... whats the use of an VPN if you cant install it!? 8/10 of the installation guides does not work and create a rabbit-hole in the FAQ section, that draws more question than it solves... IT IS INSANE what happens here barely possible to install and use at all.... BUT HEY : YOU JUST HAVE TO UPGRADE TO PbLAN RIGHT - THEN ALL WILL BE GONE ....ah.. 4sure NOT ....LOL Seriously dont waste your time here its insane: "If you make an extension and deny the people the fact that it s not possible in the free edition YOU LIE 2 THEM !!! ...and waste their time through your censouring - framing into an ALL IS GOOD onesidet point of view. How zynical asking for support against censorship! But dont have the guts to indicate negative aspects from the beginning to stay concise!???

- Rated 1 out of 5by TigerNightmare, a month agoCompletely unusable for free users. At the very least, I should be allowed to use it to configure options available to a free account and not just be stuck with the regular app to do the same thing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18339287, a month agoWorks fine, don't have any complains as others do here (no DNS leak, no connection issues and also works with Firefox Containers for me)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18332878, a month agoit's currently facing a challenge with DNS leaks, an issue that compromises the anonymity that VPNs are supposed to guarantee. This flaw could expose users' real IP addresses, raising concerns about privacy and security.
In essence, while Proton VPN offers fast and user-friendly service, the DNS leak issue is a significant drawback. Users in need of strict privacy should tread carefully or wait for an imminent fix.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Kookai, 2 months agoVPN doesn't work with Firefox Containers. Split tunnel is only whitelist mode when it should be blacklist instead. Doesn't have the same feature set as the desktop app. Plus Proton is stubborn in not implementing SOCKS5 to make it work with Firefox Containers even though Mullvad does it.
For anyone coming here, just subscribe to Mullvad instead and use the advanced proxy settings for Firefox containers. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13659045, 2 months agoIt's buggy. At the beginning it would keep reconnecting and switching server all the time, though this was a few months ago so I don't know if that's fixed. But now I tried using it again and its supposed to reconnect when restarting browser but instead it gets stuck and doesn't connect. I had to disable the extension. Also if my internet goes out the vpn doesn't automatically reconnect I have to manually disconnect and connect again.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Rufus J Squirrel, 2 months agoI really love Proton as a company but this add-on is infuriatingly buggy. Every time I boot Firefox, it will not reconnect and I have gotten to the point where I have to disable and re-install it to get it to work. I never had this problem with Nord and Proton offering a Firefox extension was a big factor in my decision to switch. I have no idea why it won't connect either because the way it is designed means it just sits there in a window with a spinning pinwheel and won't give me any information about what it's doing.
