Didn’t even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I’ve been using it with no issue on low data situations.
Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.
works fine but struggles where a lot of people are using it at the same time. IPs are often abused and require captcha for Google for example
No complaints, great product
Since it’s free, huge number of people are using those servers. You will get a lot of captchas and many sites outright block all those IPs.
Trustworthy? I am okay with them, but if I need something more private I’d use Tor.
If you’re considering spending any money with them, I’d say go with Mullvad, since it would be cheaper. If you want all Proton’s services bundled, they can be good.
Mullvad servers are much more blacklisted than Proton’s
I am comparing Proton’s free servers and Mullvad’s paid servers. In my experience Proton’s free servers are blocked more.
Also, when paying, you get access to a lot more IPs, so you can keep trying. Whereas, free servers are very limited.
Compare paid proton with paid Mullvad, else it’s not fair
I heard good things about mullvad. I will get a paid version when I have more need for it. I had thought free versions didn’t exist previously . But I don’t trust it fully
You will get some slow downs but it’s trustworthy
If you’re into torrenting, paid Proton VPN is one of the best.
I used to be, I kind of do want to get back into it. I worry more about malware and viruses now though.
Well, not torrenting games and software and you’re pretty sure to stay virus free.
For games you’d have to find some uploader who you trust.
Free VPN with political issues? What could go wrong?
Political issues with Proton are FUD
If you’re not the paying customer, you’re the product being sold
It’s a heavily limited free tier to promote their paid offering, in this case I don’t think that phrase is accurate.
