Excellent security, to the point where your other security apps are asking if you're even connected to the internet. Can cause a lot of issues with apps that aren't directly named, but frequent updates tend to take care of those issues and the team behind the app seems to be always available. When choosing to connect to a VPN location far from you (Europe from the US, India from Europe, etc) keep in mind that, for whatever reason, the connection can slow down quite a bit but not for long terms

Connection speeds can be influenced by many factors such as your native ISP speed, location, server load, network setup, etc. You could try some of the tips at https://protonvpn.com/support/increase-vpn-speeds to improve your connection speeds. If you keep facing issues, contact us using the 'Report an issue' option in the app menu so we can help.

This is unbelievable that for almost two years, I've been using Proton without even spending a single penny. The ability to choose a server in a specific country in the free plan is now removed in return we get 2 more free countries. It seems as though the grandfather clause on ”old free" plan accounts are now starting to expire... I understand that several factors led up to this point, but it looks like I might resort to using the WireGuard client now using config files. (At least for a while)

With the Free plan changes, we aim to provide optimal speeds and latency to everyone using our free, unlimited, ad-free VPN. That said, although you can't select a specific server as a free user, you can always change the server that was initially assigned to you. To access region-specific content, check out our paid plans at protonvpn.com/pricing.

Proton VPN is great, but the newest UI is terrible and does not look well thought. Several previous UI's features that made very easy to use it aren't there anymore. Just a dull interface that barely tells anything and is a pain to navigate, let alone find anything. Please revert to the previous one. Re: developer's reply. Making an app "more beautiful" while compromising its features and quality does not add any value to its users. Like I said, and repeat, the dev team made an useless app.

One of the main reasons we redesigned Proton VPN was to enhance the visual quality of our apps with refreshed and modernized designs. We also made some performance tweaks, fixed some usability issues, and made it easier to discover and understand advanced VPN features. Nonetheless, we have forwarded your feedback to the team accordingly.
