Proton VPN: Fast & Secure VPN

VPN connectivity is generally pretty good and stable. They recently removed the ability to select servers at random which is really annoying. It's useful to be able to reconnect and get a different ip address for sites that try to block that. Also, I don't think their feature that lets you exclude an app from the VPN works correctly because my voicemail app never works right when connected. Response: don't care about load balancing. I want a new ip each time. I retested and it doesn't do that

I used to recommend this app, but I am seriously considering different options. I've got the upgraded version. I find myself asking why I am paying for a service that disconnects and I have to reconnect 7 times in 4 minutes. or I'll randomly discover its been off for hours and hours, defeating the point of having a VPN. love Protons commitment to data privacy, just needs a better VPN.

Thank you for your response. Initially I left a 1 ⭐ review simply because I didn't know if the VPN was working on my Galaxy phone. Shortly after I left my original review, I went back to the app to check, and noted that it was indeed blocking trackers and Ads. Something that it was not previously doing, or if it was, it wasn't showing any numbers of blocked ads/trackers. I have a few issues with some sites not loading when the VPN is turned , not sure how to remedy that.

I just wanted to try out this VPN service, so I signed up for the free plan. Initially, it seemed to work great but not anymore. Now, this VPN either won't connect at all, or if you're fortunate enough, it'll connect and in less than a minute, it disconnects. I've tried changing protocols, etc. but nothing seems to work. In all honestly, I feel like it's just a sneaky way of basically, forcing me to sign up for there paid versions. I'll be installing this app ASAP.

It's very easy to use. You don't have to even sign nor pay. And it does work and connects you to servers. BUT, you can't choose the server yourself, which really sucks if you need a SPECIFIC region because there's a time you have to wait after selecting a server. it could be much better if you could select the server yourself and maybe even 'favorite' a server so that you can connect to it quicker to use it, especially if you use that specific server the most.
