What is Reddit's opinion of
ProtonVPN?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
➔ ProtonVPN website
By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
https://protonvpn.com/ Founded at CERN, hosted in Switzerland, supported by a not-for-profit. The paid tiers support the basic free one, rather than it being a completely; and dubiously; 'free' product.
Ahem. If I may.
https://protonvpn.com/ for all your VPN needs (and to prevent your home IP from being added to their blocked list eventually)
https://www.fakepersongenerator.com/ (select 'Texas' from the state drop-down .. . randomly generate everything else, or narrow it down by gender, city, etc if you like) - click generate . .. . and party on!
FOD the data!
Note that guy on Tik Tok had a far more automated way to do this (love that guy!), before they added Captcha and things to slow him down. This way is more manual BUT you can defeat their CAPTCHA and other Turing test stuff they might throw at the problem.
Tell your friends! Assuming they find some way to resurrect their dumb, privacy-violating website that is .. .

Let's you connect to Tor over your VPN without the use of the TBB. You may have to configure your browser to use onions.
I wouldn't use this feature if you have real protection in mind.
Maybe you can "sideload" it? Just downloading the apk from elsewhere, to avoid geographic banning (not from Proton, for sure)?
https://protonvpn.com/download-android
Or apkmirror.
Between what Snowden showed us almost a decade ago and the Five Eyes and the 14 Eyes, you should assume the government is watching everything everybody does. They get around the “no domestic spying” rules by having Canada and Australia spy on the US then share that information with domestic agencies. The ATF is most likely not bothering to get buyer information until they already have a full list from the partners abroad, then they’ll have “confirmation” data when some random judge gives them a sealed warrant.
It’s essential for you buddy!
/r/privacytoolsIO recommends exactly one free VPN:
Install and enjoy all sites online.
Of course follow the law, since you won’t be invincible - just free.
Be well friend!
>Purism is an american company, where gag orders exist. They don't exist in Switzerland. So unless ProtonMail itself is the bad actor, they can notify the public about data requests. Furthermore they can challenge them in court, which is public. > >https://protonvpn.com/blog/transparency-report/
I'm putting this quote from u/rafficer here for visibility. Feels like this sub gets a lot of concern trolling.
Hi! Note that some services are not VPN-friendly and they can block known VPN IP addresses. Please try switching to a different server or try another protocol to see if you can access the site in that manner.
Feel free to contact us and tell us with which exact servers are you encountering this, and on which websites, so we can try to reproduce the issue and flag it to our team.
It’s a term that is a spin on the “five eyes” countries, see here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
An alliance between 5 countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States; to openly share intelligence between each other.
The fourteen eye’s thing is more of a statement from a bunch of VPN providers that also adds: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden. To the group sharing intelligence. Although I can’t find any specific third party references to the whole “fourteen eyes” claim beyond a bunch of articles and blogs from VPN providers right now.
Here is a long to the Proton VPN provider that talks about it (fourteen eyes):
They actually address this in the comments
>Hi Jonathan. We operate all servers not directly under our control on the assumption that they are compromised. We have therefore designed our systems to ensure these store no information that can compromise our users privacy.
If you are worried about it, Proton does offer "secure core" services specifically meant to counteract these kinds of concerns.
> Furthermore, under Swiss law, a Warrant Canary is not meaningful, because under Swiss law, the target of a surveillance or data request must always be eventually notified, so they have the opportunity to contest the data request.
https://protonvpn.com/blog/transparency-report/
Purism is an american company, where gag orders exist. They don't exist in Switzerland. So unless ProtonMail itself is the bad actor, they can notify the public about data requests. Furthermore they can challenge them in court, which is public.
When ProtonMail is a bad actor a warrant canary doesn't help anyway.
Hi! Could you please contact our support team and tell us the username of your account so we can further look into this? Please tell us your ticket number here afterwards so we can follow up on the issue.
>your information can still be seen
This applies to any VPN, the exit node ISP can still see your traffic, no way around it. In general, you're only betting on the more users of that exit node, the harder it is to use a timing attack to correlate your traffic.
>what if you live in a country like that
Yep, the ISP you use and the exit node ISP are under the same jurisdiction, so no international cooperation is needed to correlate your traffic. That's exactly why Secure Core is offered, if your threat model includes your own government.
If you haven't already, you should read about secure core VPN. I'm having a hard time understanding what you're actually suggesting with regards to the secure core servers. Secure core works by routing your connection through two separate VPN servers (you can also think of it as a double-VPN). The first server is one that Proton owns and has full control of, and the second is whatever exit you require. So, if you wanted to have a US IP address, your connection would first go to the server in, say, Switzerland, and then be routed to the exit server in the United States.
Secure Core servers are specifically located in Sweden, Switzerland, and Iceland so I'm not sure why you think there's no Secure Core servers in those countries. Perhaps you could be a bit more precise with your question?
I don't understand what is the purpose of your question, can you explain?
Apart that, Swiss Servers are already able to stream:
https://protonvpn.com/support/watch-netflix-with-vpn/
What exactly is your goal?
Actually, only paid accounts are able to use P2P:
>P2P sharing is only available using one of our paid plans: Basic, Plus, or Visionary.
Twój komentarz zakłada że nody tora do których się łączysz są zaufane, ale tak, trochę podkolorowałem tamten akapit bo oczywiście polskie służby bezpieczeństwa są obecnie bardziej skupione ściganiu tęczowych Maryji, niż podsłuchiwaniu exit nodów TORa.

> A VPN that's not run by yourself can under no circumstances improve your level of privacy
How is running a VPN by yourself better? Whole point of using VPN services is everyone using VPN's IP instead of their own for all their web traffic, so it's hard to tell who's visiting what website out of all the users. How can you achieve this running your own?
>This is using fear mongering to try and sell a service that most users probably won't benefit from
Fear mongering is kind of a stretch, it doesn't feel like that at all from what I see. They're not lying when they say a VPN could have benefits. Also just because you don't find a service valuable doesn't mean others feel the same.
Can you contact support with as many details as possible? All the VPN protocols use a virtual network adapter to route traffic and should be fully transparent to the user when functioning normally.
We allow P2P traffic only on our P2P optimized servers, the Basic or Plus servers that support P2P (it usually has a two-arrow icon next to the server name). Note that your connection will be automatically disabled if you connect to servers that don't support P2P traffic. You'll also receive a warning message. More details here: https://protonvpn.com/support/p2p-vpn-redirection/
File a support ticket at https://protonvpn.com/support-form and ask for a refund. They will give you one within 30 days of buying. Don't chargeback through paypal, since I think that will get your account locked.
Correct. Plus servers are the best optimized for streaming: https://protonvpn.com/support/streaming-guide/
With regards to Linux, we're actively working on the official GUI, which is still Beta software.
"We do not use third party DNS servers (we operate our own DNS servers) and we always route all your DNS queries through our encrypted VPN tunnel. Our native apps have a default DNS leak protection feature that forces your Internet connection to resolve DNS queries via our DNS servers."
We are using this in order to detect if the user is performing P2P traffic, as we are using smart redirection system for P2P traffic. You can find more details regarding the P2P redirection here: https://protonvpn.com/support/p2p-vpn-redirection/. The main purpose of this is to inform users of changes in VPN behavior.
You could say the same about opera vpn
But to answer your question, they have paid options and are crowdfunded. The free version just has limited bandwidth so downloading large torrents would take a while.
CNET is an affiliate site. This means that you must pay them to get included in the review, and then when they send you traffic, you must also give them a cut of the profits. The top ranked VPN in their "review" is the one that promises them the biggest share of revenue, or pays the most for the review.
We don't participate in this unethical review system because it violates our core principle of honesty. You can find here a list of reviews that are NOT paid for: https://protonvpn.com/blog/free-vpn-reviews/
Alright, here's their privacy policy which explicitly states that they don't keep logs: https://protonvpn.com/privacy-policy
The only data they do keep is literally the bare minimum for you to create an account and use the service. That's it.
Want to fill the rest of us in on what exactly you're talking about?
As far as I'm aware, none of the above... https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn/pc/
Paid users will most likely prefer the premium servers due to lower loads and additional functionality (TOR, p2p etc). When I was a free user (looong time ago), I can't recall there was a data cap or max connection time. Even as a Plus user I occasionaly lose my connection. I guess it's just common.
No that is not what it means. UDP and TCP are the protocol that OpenVPN uses, not the portion of traffic that it protects. All traffic is routed through VPN by default.
Now I simply looked it up in their privacy policy:
> For example, if you make a payment with a credit card, your name and the last 4 digits of the credit card number will become part of the invoice and saved by us.
You can read the rest here: https://protonvpn.com/privacy-policy
I paid with CC and got asked for name and my country + zip-code. I expect those are for VAT-related issues, but this is not specified in the policy.
With the protonvpn plus plan, you get access to the plus servers which let you watch some streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. There is CLi for Linux, it is actually what I use. It works for several Linux distros. You can find instructions here:
As you have mentioned yourself, we do have a strict no-logs policy, you can find more details in our Privacy Policy: https://protonvpn.com/privacy-policy.
We operate under the Swiss privacy laws which do not require us to retain logs about user activity and traffic.
Just because banning xyz is not easy and/or truly feasible never stops governments from trying.
Using a VPN is not illegal in China, but VPNs that are not government-licensed are blocked as much as possible.
Talk about a less than ideal and heavily controlled situation, many state-approved and ran VPNs are going to end up being so heavily tracked that they will offer no additional freedoms compared to the internet. I guess you could briefly use one to bypass blocked sites until you are arrested soon after lol..
I have linked some related details for those who are curious about the topic, but I really don't think that fearing heavily for the future of the internet is that irrational.
https://protonvpn.com/blog/are-vpns-illegal/ https://www.tipsforchina.com/vpn-faq.html
sanctionedsuicide.net or 8ch.net/suicide/index.html.
There are also google groups like #ctbtalk but I wouldn't recommend it for security reasons as you would need a gmail account to join. Also, I would use Tor and/or VPN when accessing these suicide sites.
You can get free VPN over at Proton
You can download tor browser here
> Do proton store any ip? You say you do but for security reasons. Why?
As they made clear in this post, they do have HTTP logs from some of their servers that contain IP Addresses. They also need them for security (to notice and block brute-force attempts for example). If those HTTP logs contain the account that was accessed with a specific IP may need to be clarified by them. And I think they have the IP Address if the user chose the option to log it, not sure if those are encrypted.
> Do proton give information to the government if they ask for it? If you do, why not delete it before giving it?
If the swiss government asks for it with a valid swiss court order, yes. I come to the deletion part later.
> Are we getting notified if someone trying to hack my account?
I don't think so, I think the attacker will just be banned temporarily, but may need to be clarified by them.
> When we use the protonvpn do protonvpn logged anything at all?
Timestamps from the last authentication. There's more info here: https://protonvpn.com/support/no-logs-vpn/
> Can a court get information from protonvpn and protonmail?
The swiss court, yes.
> why not just delete the information before they ask for it.
I'm pretty sure it would fall under "destroying evidence" and would therefore be illegal. And even though they are privacy oriented, they don't want to be a safe haven for criminals and assist law enforcement as much as they can with it, to the extend possible for them. They also won't go to jail for you, I think this is clear.
Also it's better for everyone if they cooperate with law enforcement. If they wouldn't, law enforcement would play nicely about 2 or 3 times and then not ask for the information, but get the necessary documents and seize the information.
https://freephonenum.com/send-text
Use this.
Edit: Also if you want to hide your IP Address you can also quickly download
Proton VPN, it's completely free and you can just delete it afterwards

Proton only has to comply to swiss law. Australia can‘t do anything about that.
Here are some links, how Proton secures their servers, how to operate in „high risk“ countries and also a comparison to Hong Kong:
https://protonvpn.com/blog/disk-encryption/
P2P is simply not a feature that's available in the free plan, it has nothing to do with effectiveness or logging. All plans, including the free one, have a clear no-logging policy.
Hello, utiliser un VPN gratuit te force à partager ta propre connexion où tu sers de relais également. Autant dire que c'est pas une bonne idée. Attention à acheter des abonnements sur des VPN en ligne au hasard. Ils peuvent tous t'espionner si ils sont mal intentionnés. La semaine dernière pleins de VPN qui se disaient "sans enregistrements" ont été piratés et pleins d'enregistrements ont été récupérés. Le seul qui a été audité et qui est plutôt sécuritaire à ma connaissance est https://protonvpn.com. Pour aller plus loin si tu es un peu bricoleur tu peux acheter un VPS pas cher chez OVH par exemple et le monter en une demi-journée par toi-même. Il y a des solutions clés en main à monter facilement.
You can go to https://protonvpn.com, sign up for a free account, and connect using that. With the free account you get a few servers in the Netherlands, in Japan and in the USA. I just tried all three and it works with all of them.
​
Depending on how the blocking is implemented it might be enough if you change your dns servers to something that cares more about freedom.
​
You could also try tor, but it might be a bit slow.
Open a ticket with them if you want to get it resolved. I'm 99% certain that the issue is on your side, given that the plus plan per year (selected by default) is pretty close to $100, but ranting on reddit won't solve the problem. You can open a ticket with them here:
Next time please post a quick statement right away, ideally on your own website. Not only would it calm people down, it'd also save us from trying to fix/figure out things on our end where there's nothing to fix.
Quoting you >Please try the steps here and let us know if it helps: https://protonvpn.com/support/windows-vpn-issues/
I have the same issue. The work around is to download the OpenVPN config file on a computer and email it to yourself. You can open the attachment in OpenVPN Connect and import it that way. It seems to be an issue with their website. They acknowledge it in the comments at the bottom of this page. https://protonvpn.com/support/ios-vpn-setup/
They are looking into it.
TCP is slower as it has to validate each packet or something. Proton has always recommended UDP for streaming/speed.
They have good articles about anything that might affect your connection: https://protonvpn.com/support/udp-tcp/
You create a free account and then contact their support. They will give you the address to send cash. You can also pay with BTC. There is no need for phone confirmation or credit card. I got mine via BTC and random email address.
Hello!
The paid servers offer better speeds and additional features such as multiple connections, more servers in more countries, Adblock functions (Netshield), P2P possibility, Streaming support, Secure Core etc.
More information can be found here:
The Russian VPN servers work differently. Seems like the Russian VPN server encrypts the data and sends it to the upstream ISPs, which are located in European boarders near Russia. Seeing as St. Petersburg is bordering Finland, it makes sense that the DNS servers are showing Finland
>First, network traffic is encrypted between the server itself and upstream ISPs, making it more difficult to intercept traffic between those two points. Furthermore, by peering in St. Petersburg, where the Russian Internet meets the rest of the world, we can connect directly to European ISPs, which, again, makes it more difficult to perform traffic interception.
Inoffensive and humble question? How dare you! ;)
If you click this page and scroll down to the 'standard servers' list, you'll see a list of countries and servers along with a rough measure of their current load. Anything with an orange B (for 'Basic plan' i.e. free) is a server you can use.
What you connect to will depend on how you access protonVPN, for example on linux with an all manual setup, you can connect to whatever specific servers you wish by using their specific openvpn (for example) .config files.
We do still have a free plan, which costs $0 (=free) and which is made possible thanks to our paid users. To sign up for a free plan, go to protonvpn.com, click on Sign Up at the top right hand corner. You'll land on a page like this: https://imgur.com/1kcPHRT Simply select your preferred plan (Free). Then follow all on-screen instructions to finish account creation.
If you don't see this landing page, try a different browser, or try opening the page in private / incognito mode. Let us know if that works.
If you create the account anonymously and pay using bitcoin, the most that they can give is your email, the last time you connected to a server. You can read more about it in their privacy policy.
We have special policies in place for our servers in high risk countries, you can actually find more details here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/vpn-servers-high-risk-countries/
I don't think that's correct. There might be guidance that says you should let VPNs be, but entire countries block them now and it's certainly within your rights as the owner of a private network to filter traffic however you want.
Based on what I know then they rent some of their ordinary servers and they own their secure core servers 100% in secure datacenters (https://protonvpn.com/secure-vpn and https://protonvpn.com/support/secure-core-vpn/).
I see no reason why they should bother with IP spoofed servers when they can just rent them in the country they need.
I'll take my chances with open source and audited VPNs over my ISP when it comes to privacy. If you'd rather not that's fine, just close and disable the ad permanently and move on.
Just got this. In addition to wifi it can also do usb tethering from phone as well as usb 4g modem if you ever get those at some point in future as well as regular cable of course.

If has built in support for VPN - if your provider can do Open VPN which Proton seems to support it should work.
https://protonvpn.com/support/vpn-config-download/
There is also physical switch that's you can configure to do few things and I choose it to use it as VPN toggle switch for when some sites don't work with VPN.
I previously had this and it died on me - no power all the sudden but it was too basic and not as feature rich.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N5RCZQH?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
The TL;DR on this is that even if an attacker can't snoop the contents of VPN sessions, it's still possible to correlate VPN ingress traffic with VPN egress traffic based on the size and timing of traffic. Attackers can get access to this traffic information.
This is the timing/correlation attack mentioned on ProtonVPN's Secure Core page, and Secure Core does offer defense: https://protonvpn.com/support/secure-core-vpn/
Secure Core isn't on by default. Turning it on will slow down your connections, but if you're worried about an attacker with nation-state resources, it's there for you.
By killing the Dummy interface you are killing the interface the VPN is using. You can check this by killing the Dummy interface with the VPN running and then checking a site like whatismyipaddress<dot>com. It should display your actual outbound IP address as the VPN won't be doing business through the "Dummy" interface.
Linux uses Dummy interfaces as a virtual network adapter to make network connections through. This is how VPNs work, they create a virtual network adapter to pass network traffic through.
Can I ask what led you to believe the Dummy interface was creating issues?
Did you follow the docs Proton has for installing on Mint? It looks like they officially support Mint 20, what version of Mint are you running?
You probably should submit error logs to
https://protonvpn.com/support-form
or, if the website is blocked, you can send an email to contact {at} protonvpn.com . But note that it may take longer time to receive a reply than if you contact them though the form.
> All of this leads me to wonder, is Proton VPN free tier also going away soon?
I highly doubt so as it is their mission to provide access to tools such as protonmail & protonvpn for people who cannot pay.
> Our mission is to create an Internet where everyone is able to browse online with security and privacy. Part of this mission is providing a free VPN. This free plan provides activists, journalists, and dissidents around the world with a secure, private means of accessing the Internet. With no bandwidth limits, there is never a reason not to protect your online activity with a VPN.
https://protonvpn.com/blog/free-vpn-safety/
> We’re not just creating an email service. We’re creating the world we want to live in. That means supporting millions of free users who cannot or choose not to pay for ProtonMail. When more people use ProtonMail, more emails are end-to-end encrypted by default, which improves privacy for everyone, including paying users.
From my understanding if you use paypal, they can see your name and address.
It definitely is important how information like this is handled, you can view their privacy policy here and if it aligns with your goals then feel free to use the service https://protonvpn.com/privacy-policy
Update: After thorough examination, we confirm that on ProtonVPN’s macOS app, no traffic is excluded from the encrypted VPN tunnel when Kill Switch is enabled (including Apple apps’ traffic). More details here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/big-sur-exclusion-list/
Con una vpn tu trafico va por medio de un tunnel contra un server que es el que va a terminar hablando con el server al que vos queres llegar, dicho de otra forma, el ping con una vpn nunca deberia bajarte por que le estas sumando cosas entre medio en pos de disfrazar el trafico..
Y el ping es justamente eso, el tiempo que tardas en enviar un paquete y el tiempo en que tarda en llegarte un paquete y como bien dije antes, con una vpn metes "cosas al medio" por lo que el ping/latencia deberia aumentar..
De la unica forma en que podrias llegar a ver una mejora es que tu ISP artificialmente este cappeando tu velocidad de descarga o el acceso a una pagina y al "disfrazar" el trafico con una VPN podrias acceder o descargar mas rapido..
Te recomiendo que pruebes con https://protonvpn.com/es/ que tenes 7 dias free de premium y vas a poder hacer la prueba sin perder nada :P
Everything.
Keep in mind that there is an iOS bug that Apple hasn’t fixed yet detailed in the link:
https://protonvpn.com/blog/apple-ios-vulnerability-disclosure/
It is affecting all VPN services on iOS devices.
Seems to be a typo in the mail. Their blog post says:
> ... we have added 53 servers in 17 countries.
https://protonmail.com/blog/covid-19/
And here‘s a list of all the new servers:
Well, they also have servers on Russia, and it's also mentioned on the post:
> However, we recently installed servers in Russia, so we know how to install and maintain VPN servers in a high-risk country.
So, they probably would not discard the possibility to do the same in China, although I agree that doing it it's a bad idea due the China's aggressive approach regarding having communications under their control.
Besides of that, and after not seeing any indication of it on the linked post, I guess that those polls aren't for taking decisions as it is, but instead to have an idea about what the community wants... I like to think that they will look to, I don't know, the Top 3 (5?) results and then do a research about the feasibility of having an exit node/datacenter on such country, and after having the results (and only then) of such research take the choice about setting up something there or not.
Proton is located in Switzerland, so anyone who wants legal process has to go there and seek information in compliance with Swiss law.
There is however the increased risk of data being compromised if someone has access to the physical servers in a location. This is why Proton has the Secure Core option. https://protonvpn.com/support/secure-core-vpn/
I think the transparency report might be useful too https://protonvpn.com/blog/transparency-report/
The first thing to try is to release everything and check whether you will be able to browse without connecting again:
Please enter these commands one by one into your Command prompt, a.k.a CMD (make sure that you right click on CMD to run it as administrator) :
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset
After that please restart your computer and check if this will fix the issue. If it won't, please contact our tech team right away to dig further: https://protonvpn.com/support-form
>https://protonvpn.com/support/no-logs-vpn/
Your post isn't anything new. It only seems to exist for spreading FUD. That's probably why people assume you're lying, even if this is a good faith effort. It's already known that PVPN has login timestamps to prevent this sort of thing. No, they don't have a true "no logs" policy in the sense that absolutely nothing traceable to you is recorded on their end, but they don't log things like web traffic, location, etc. Read their terms and the comments.
If you have a router with ddwrt or, a router where you can install ddwrt, you can set it up to use a vpn provider, like proton vpn. There are instructions to do so in their website: https://protonvpn.com/support/vpn-router-ddwrt/
I hope you got your issues sorted soon. Cheers.

Proton does not keep any logs of users’ online activity and they cannot be forced to keep any logs under Swiss law.

Note that you will need to connect to our P2P servers if you are using torrenting services on your device. If you are connecting to our P2P servers and the issue persists, please reach out to us via a ticket and provide some more information. ( i.e. which exact servers have you tried connecting to? Are you using any type of anti-virus or firewall software? Have you tried some other torrent clients and then check if the issue persists? Are you receiving any error messages? Is the NetShield feature turned on? Which exact connection protocol are you using? ) We'd be happy to help.
I recall them explaining once on reddit that it’s to preserve the reliability of the free version since torrent users generally use up a lot of bandwidth. But also…
From their website: https://protonvpn.com/support/p2p-vpn-redirection/
> Some data centers that we are partnered with do not allow P2P traffic
It’s probably both those reasons plus like you said a way to give people a reason to upgrade to the paid version.

Basically an agreement between the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada to spy on their citizens and share intelligence amongst themselves. This is also worsened by Australian’s dreadful policies regarding encryption, such as the Access and Assistance Bill which attempts to outlaw encryption and prosecute those who refuse to circumvent it. The Govt doesn’t even need a court order to use those powers, it’s rather worrying.
You can read more about five eyes here and more about the Access and Assistance Bill here.
There’s also countries included in the ‘nine eyes’ and ‘fourteen eyes’ which also participate in intelligence but don’t necessarily share as much data as the worst offenders, the five eyes.
There are indeed restrictions against VPN providers in China. This article might be helpful: https://protonvpn.com/support/does-protonvpn-work-in-china/
If you are connected to a VPN with your device, increased battery consumption is expected. This is because your device is constantly maintaining the VPN connection. However, this increased battery consumption should not be significant. To properly investigate this, please contact us: https://protonvpn.com/support-form.
In the ticket, please let us know are you using IKEv2 or OpenVPN protocol? Are there any other apps that have a high use of the battery on your phone? Are you using any type of anti-virus/firewall/network monitoring application? Do you have other VPN applications installed?Please also send us a screenshot of the battery usage list.
Hello! Can you please let us know if this happens with a particular server or with all of them so we can investigate this issue? https://protonvpn.com/support-form Thank you in advance.
If you send an email to support, they may get back to you slower, since that isn't prioritized by customer (paid users get priority support), so you should submit a ticket at https://protonvpn.com/support-form.
https://protonvpn.com/ . It's the best VPN out there, period, but the free version will increase your ping by at least 80ms.
>Some sites show me the vpn ip but multiple sites show my real location, isp and ipv6 ( but no ipv4 at all).
If the sites show your real IPv6 address, then you have what's called an "IPv6 leak", the reason is that Protonvpn doesn't support IPv6. Two years ago they planned to support IPv6 in the future, but that future apparently isn't here yet.
Based on the first comment of that article, the release date was on August 2018.
While it is not a whitepaper, it contains some information:
https://protonvpn.com/blog/whats-the-best-vpn-protocol/
Proton is using OpenVPN and IKEv2. Network traffic is encrypted with AES-256, key exchange is done with 4096 bit RSA and HMAC with SHA384 is used for message authentication. Only cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy are included.
https://protonvpn.com/blog/hmac-authentication/
There are no differences between the servers. I don't think there is any whitepaper available with more information.
We had a minor technical issue that is now resolved. Please try accessing https://protonvpn.com/ again and let us know if everything is in order.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

We will need more details to investigate the issue you are facing, so please submit a ticket in the following link: https://protonvpn.com/support-form and we will assist you accordingly.
Please note that we do not limit the bandwidth of your connection, so the speed may be influenced by many other factors such as your native ISP speed, location, server distance, server load, network setup, etc. We suggest connecting to nearby servers with low/acceptable server-load in order to get the most optimal speed of your connection. More details regarding the speed can be found in the article below:
https://protonvpn.com/support/increase-vpn-speeds/
Our Visionary/Plus users usually get the highest speed, so if you have tried the suggestions and the speed is not improved, please contact our support team so we can investigate and help you as soon as possible: protonvpn.com/support-form.
Please note that the P2P icon means that you can connect to a P2P-optimized server, so we recommend using those servers for P2P. However, our 'Premium/Plus' servers are not solely for streaming. They can be used for P2P as well because we do offer this feature for our Basic, Plus and Visionary subscribers: https://protonvpn.com/pricing.
As a Swiss company, we are not subject to laws passed in Australia. Any requests for assistance from the Australian government would have to adhere to Switzerland's strong privacy protections. Here is our public comment on Australia’s law: https://protonvpn.com/blog/assistance-access-bill-australia/.
P2P though is explicitly a paid only offering. So if something happens to be available, cool. But it's probably a mis-configuration that could be addressed at any point and your access cut off.
Are you in the US? If not, on https://protonvpn.com/support/watch-netflix-with-vpn/ they say "ProtonVPN does not condone the use of our VPN service to bypass copyright regulations."
As we use bare metal servers and configure them ourselves, we can be certain that our servers do not log. But as we explained in the article explaining the rationale behind Secure Core, we cannot be sure that connections to and from that server isn't being monitored by the datacenter or the government, so that's why Secure Core is still more secure.
