posted 2 days agoHello, there are settings in Firefox that bypass any extension so you have to ensure they are correctly set, you can check protonvpn.com/support/browser-extensions#firefox
Here we give more details about the protection it offers: protonvpn.com/support/browser-extensions#faq-question-1677757419032
Note that we don't provide the extension as a complete replacement of the desktop application. Depending on your threat model, you may need one, the other or both. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18608824, 4 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18542283, 12 days agoRequires a sign-in on a page that is inaccessible without a VPN. You literally need a VPN to use this VPN.
Also glitches out and asks me to update right after the installation, with no updtae available.Developer response
posted 9 days agoHello,
I'm sorry to hear. We are rather limited by the browser capabilities. If the ISP or country you're browsing from is blocking our domain, we cannot establish to connection to it in the first place.
I suspect the update issue is also related to some sort of firewall. If you contact contact@protonvpn.com or support@protonvpn.zendesk.com and provide the version of the browser extension you're using, from where you got it and the country/ISP you're from, we can try to find ways to circumvent it.
A screenshot of the prompt you get and HAR export of the browser extension network traffic may also help to find out if you can provide it also.
Please note that Proton also has a client that you can install on your device wich is more efficient in countries with anti-VPN filtering rules. - Rated 1 out of 5by edenflare, 13 days agoUndecided, I was wondering if there is a way to have split tunneling with just 1 tab on my firefox? So let's say I want Xbox website to see that I'm from USA but all my other tabs I want normal ISP service from UK, is that possible?
This doesn't seem to let me connect to USA, it's fixed to netherlands... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18608446, 16 days ago

posted a month agoHello,
This channel is not related to the Linux client, however I can see quite frequent releases for our official Linux client, last one was 4.4.5, 1 week ago:
protonvpn.com/download-linux - Rated 3 out of 5by Ramouz, a month agoI have their paid VPN. The browser version of Proton VPN is limited. It's sad. I don't like talking like this because I like their service and speed, but there are so many things missing in all their apps, such as the Windows version, Android version, and the one in browsers.
Split tunneling is lacking on all devices and none have the same features. The one on the browser has the one I want, by website, but you can't include. As in, if you only want it to run on that website. You can only exclude so that it doesn't run on that website.
The one on Windows doesn't have website but IP or apps. You can include/exclude there but we desperately need the ability to add websites there and to decide per website/app/IP if we want to include or exclude. Same on the browser extension. Same on Android.
Here in Firefox, it's also missing a favorites list and the ability to choose a default. Same on Chrome/Edge. All 3 of their apps/extensions look different and behave different and have different settings. Really bad design.
None of our settings sync so you have to set it up each time in every browser, phone, computer OS.
Missing other information and settings.
Considering the number of clients they have, servers, and money they're making, they should easily have the budget to improve and streamline them all.
Will edit review after they update. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18581894, a month agoAlways says "unprotected", even when VPN is active. Uninstalling for now since the software does not seem to add value.
What should happen / to improve rating.
Extension should function as expected by:
- When connected through a VPN, extension should indicate "Protected".
- When not connected through a VPN, extension should indicated "Unprotected". - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18577622, a month ago
