Anyones using Proton VPN ?

[A3D1]

Is the basic plan of Proton VPN good enough to watch films on streaming on US servers from France with 1Mb/s internet ? ^^

The 'free' VPNs without ads are mostly always tied into making your PC a zombie in a BotNET. There's one out there, which does just that. The way it works is you get a new IP Address, but at the same time, some others are using your own IP Address to do whatever they want too. It's merely bouncing between a large group of you. Whatever activities they do legal or not, gets push back to your own ISP (Internet Service Provider). As that's how it can run without 'costs'.

VPN dedicated servers otherwise cost money to run, keep up a good performance level, and maintain around the world. So logically, you should be paying for it.

do u have one (not free) to recomand ?

- ExpressVPN

Number of servers: 3,000+ | Server locations: 160 | IP addresses: 30,000 | Maximum devices supported: 5

- NordVPN

Number of servers: 5,300+ | Server locations: 60+ | IP addresses: N/A | Maximum devices supported: 6

- HotSpot Shield

Number of servers: 2,500+ | Server locations: 80+ | IP addresses: N/A | Maximum devices supported: 5

- CyberGhost

Number of servers: 3,700+ | Server locations: 60+ | IP addresses: N/A | Maximum devices supported: 7

(In order of quality, performance, and protection)

ProtonVPN is free, though you can only connect to US, Japan and Netherlands. On the plus side, there is no data cap. Also, there are no ads too.

The only reason I use VPN is to access Crunchyroll as it is not available in my country.

ma boy ! i only need USA (for netflix), so ur saying its gud ? no ads, low speed limit and wurd tracking stuff ?

Yes its good. I haven't faced any issues with the ProtonVPN till now. It works awesome, no data caps, no ads, its just brilliant. While for that tracking stuff you said, I have no idea about that. But you can try Proton yourself, and see how you like it. And yes, you also need to make an account in order to use it, and that's all. I think that's not an issue.

Any that are PPTP or can bypass Verizon's data throttle on hotspot that isn't PPTP and not ran by pirate bay?

is the basic plan of Proton VPN good just to watch US netflix ? cause it cost like 4$ (my card is in € so that is maybe a problem) and got all i need

[whatamidoing]

Nope, but remember that using a VPN to do that goes against their TOS, at least for Netflix.

Basic plan? You don't need to subscribe to any plan... it's free.

And yes as @whatamidoing said that watching Netflix through VPN might not be a good idea. As I think ultimately you'll have to sub to the subscription and I guess they check the details on your credit card and they can easily detect that you're not from US. So I think using VPN on Netflix isn't a good idea.

basicly they said dont use vpn cause u will have problems but in france (and in europe in general i think) VPNs are legal so "the only" way to watch anime Boruto "legally" for example is to use a VPN cause his english dub got copy right problems here. so its like they saying dont do that but as soon as its legal and its the only way weer good.
+ i mean come on who cares, u got countries that block EVERYTHING films/animes, web pages so the 90% of users use a vpn , as soon as u pay everything is ok thats what they say

dont think it works like that, it cant block my account cause its a Global sevice that means i can travel when and where i want and be able to watch the content of the country that im in, credit card is not a big deal its the IP, netflix can block the ip that im watching (ip of the VPN's server ofc) cause when im in my own ip i do nothing bad.so lets just hope to finish watching all american stuff i want before they figure out how to stop them

also u said its free but i got a timer on it that saying that free trail will finish in 5days *hours * minutes * sec, is it okey if i just ignore ? or im in the Premium plan when i have acces to more stuff so whenever it finished i will be able to use only 3 countries with a low speed

PS: i want to get the basic plan cause it seems to be the cheapest on net, cause i don't want to spend more money on it

yeah, just don't say that you're using VPN on their forums for example.

don't listen to the people saying free vpn is always garbage. it's marketing. some free vpn is. but not all. just look up reviews.

it does seem to be a bit problematic in use. and the free mode is garbage.

haven't tested myself. because i use windscribe.

got 75 GB for free by letting a browser extention mine while i went to get food. sounds sketchy but was very transparent. you had to go to a seperate website, check in, then turn a slider to set how much resources you wanted to use to mine, and then it mined. i never set it to use all my gpu, and my pc didn't get hot compared to when i play games so it was a good deal for me.

i'm suprised if they even got 1$ from that mining.

but windscibe has different servers for netflix. so that doesn't work if you want to go free.

That must be a trial of the premium. I also had it enabled automatically when I created the account for the first time. It's just that in the premium there are more servers to choose from. So that means when your trial expires... then you'll only able to select only the free servers.

For example, you might have noticed right now you can connect to many countries and are not just limited to US, Netherlands and Japan. Also, under the list of servers in US, you will see that there are two servers named Free 1 and Free 2. So those two servers are the ones which you'll get in the free version. While the remaining are for the paid version.

So you shouldn't worry. As when the trial ends, it will switch to free version, and you will only able to connect to US, Netherlands and Japan. And even within them, you will only able to connect to free servers only. And btw those free servers aren't bad at all. I haven't checked the difference in speed though, but I haven't done that since I haven't experienced any kind of slow speed, and I comfortably watch videos off Crunchyroll without any lag. So I think the quality of the servers are good.

So don't worry about the trial, its just there to give you a taste of the premium version.

btw i use proton vpn but does it works?

[Electric Cupcake]

Never used it, but Protonmail is a very good service.

If I ever have to dump NordVPN, they'd be my next choice.

Really, it's a bit annoying how Nordvpn gave a good deal on a 3-year subscription, and then quadrupeled the rate for the 4th year to make up for it. It's a standard practice for ISP contract shenanigans, but I expected better from them.
