Handy extension for tunneling your web browsing through a VPN. On Windows the extension reconnects when the system wakes, but on macOS* the extension gums up the whole browser if the system went to sleep with the VPN connected, necessitating unloading and reloading the extension.

* Intel-64 architecture; have not had the problem since switching to Apple Silicon

quite fast and free.

Randomly connecting to a server? I get that it's free but at least let the users choose which countries they want to connect to among the limited numbers.

Use Proton if you value security.

I think a VPN extension only really needs ONE feature: quick-connect to a previously favorited country.

It is ridiculous that ProtonVPN does not have this.
I would take ANYTHING:
- A way to pin/favorite countries or servers
- A second button next to Connect that
- An option in the settings for what happens when I left click the extension
- create a hotkey to auto-connect to my favorites

I've only ever EVER used it to connect to a different country. But if I don't manually choose it in the list, then it will choose MINE. Why?! It's basically useless.

And I specifically only ever use Japan 99% of the time, and the US in the remaining 1%.
(I suspect a great majority of people use it similarly. Mostly one country.)

Both of which—because the list is in alphabetic order—I literally cannot even simply scroll down to!
Japan takes about 4 wheel turns, and the US takes 8.

So, evidently, I instead search for them. Just typing J or U is enough.
And THANKFULLY the search input is automatically focused. This is why the app gets 2 stars, not 1.

proton needs no introduction, i would say its one of the best vpn extentions and an app too right next to windscribe, basically the only two that have a free plan but boy is the paid plan so much better

1. Can not specify favorite countries. You have to search a list of 900 countries, even though everyone mostly only uses a handful of them.

2. Can not be enabled only for specific *containers* (to specied countries.)
This is also easily possible with other VPNs via the Mozilla Container extension, if you would have a SOCKS5 proxy address. to use with Proton...

Other than that, it works.

Great when it works. I constantly lose connection when trying to stream content on my browser. When I disconnect from the extension I have no connection issues. I have two server locations close to me and I try to switch when my connection slows down. But, this doesn't seem to help.

This works well on desktop Firefox, but not mobile (I tried force enabling it, but it just gives permission errors so far — maybe I'll figure out it).

Great VPN browser app, works out of the box on Mint Linux and Windows 11. Experience isn't as polished on Linux (yet), but updates are consistent and nothing breaks so I am happy. I could wish for finer exit server details presented in the web app, but if I am looking for something specific I can reference that information through the desktop app for now. I am looking forward to Proton's continuing development and success.

The Proton VPN extension is almost perfect, but on Firefox Linux, this thing just won't reconnect after coming back from sleep! Disconnecting and reconnecting hangs, and that gets nowhere, but disabling and re-enabling the extension makes everything work. Proton is a great VPN with a lot of extra functionality, but this extension needs a bit more polish.

It would be nice if there was a way to pin certain countries/location to the top of the list, or if the extension remembered the last few countries you used.

Otherwise, great extension.

good
