Hi, I've been using fdroid for installing proton for a long time now, and for the first time today, I saw that I've got two different proton app updates.

One that seems normal, and one having non reproducible build in brackets, which I'm seeing for the first time.

What does this mean, and is it okay to install either of these builds without any errors, safety issues inside app or bugs?

I updated my previous ver. with the non reproducible build a few mins ago, and noticed the bracket description just now.

I have been trying to use the British Airways sites while on proton VPN and they don't load. Once I turn off VPN they load. Anyone seen this?

I am using Arch linux and despite the app originally working, now even with system updates, I receive the imaged message whenever I try to connect to any server. Has anybody else had these issues and/or knows how to go about solving them?

Been using the paid plan for a week and been switching to multiple locations but my netflix on tv has been ass. It only has like half of the catalog, it’s missing so much. It’s weird it’s like it has shows but only default shit like 13 reasons why, manifest, stranger things. How can I fix this?

I deleted proton VPN and now my internet doesn’t work. Like it says everything is connected and secured, but I have no internet. Whenever I try to go to a website or search something, it says that the server IP address can’t be found.

Here’s everything I’ve tried so far:

Uninstalled Proton VPN.

Restarted my laptop multiple times.

Forgot my Wi-Fi network and reconnected.

Checked my proxy settings and made sure the manual proxy was off.

Checked my network adapter settings.

Tried changing my DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Tried changing my DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1).

Flushed my DNS cache.

Ran netsh winsock reset.

Tried releasing and renewing my IP address with ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew.

Ran Windows Network Reset and restarted my laptop.

Tested ping 1.1.1.1, which worked with 0% packet loss.

Tested nslookup, which successfully returned Google’s IP addresses.

Tried opening Google directly using an IP address, but Edge showed a “Your connection isn’t private” warning.

Tried syncing my Windows date and time, but it failed with a network connectivity error.

I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore, and I don’t wanna have to get a new laptop. It’s only not working on my laptop too, like it works fine on my phone, tv, and other electronics, just not on my laptop.

I have a windows 11 laptop if that helps.
I really need a solution within a week. Please help‼️

Hi, recently I downloaded ProtonVPN free tier, because I heard it is great and it encrypts your data. I did really like it and it worked for some time when my servers were set in the European country, but after some time I wanted to change my server and my network access went bad and it for some reason gave me weird DNSes. I think they might have been the american ones. Worth noting that I am from Europe.

So here is my question - what did happen and what should I do next time?

Hi. I have proton paid and been doing a test for dns leak. When I turn split tunnel ON it leaks my IP in the test. I have 1 app in there, bc when my VPN is connected, it doesnt allow my security camera to connect. If I turn OFF Tunneling there is no leaks in my DNS at all on the test. I use dnsleaktest . Com. Any pointers here thank you.

Both Android and Win11 desktop do this I use Wireguard although I tried other options it still leaked info. Nutsheild is ON.

Is it possible ProtonVPN can or is going to spin up more Tor over VPN servers? The available servers are constantly at +90% server load so they're almost unusable.

I tried re-enabling and re-installing the extension and restarting the browser.

Zen browser version: 1.23.2b (Firefox 157.0.1). This is the latest version, the extension is also up to date

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I cannot connect to any severs located in Canada/US/Mexico. Most other countries, no problem but that's not what I'm wanting. Can someone please give me some advice on how I can make this a possibility? Thanks.

Closing and signing out of the app, using Task manager to stop running it, and reseting my computer multiple times. What can I do?

Windows, free version

To my untrained eye it looks like opening the app is making it reconnect. The “data saved” and “ads blocked” tickers don’t go back to zero, but it’s strange to see the connection animation begin again when the VPN was supposed to be on in the background the whole time. Is this an issue? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue with Proton VPN's split tunneling feature on Windows, specifically when playing Counter-Strike 2.

Whenever I connect to a CS2 server, the game briefly freezes, and my ping suddenly spikes to a level that matches the VPN server's location. This strongly suggests that CS2's traffic is still being routed through the VPN instead of bypassing it.

I've already added the following executables to Proton VPN's split tunneling exclusion list:

• Steam
• Counter-Strike 2 (cs2.exe)
• Steam Client WebHelper

Unfortunately, none of these exclusions seem to make a difference.

Kill Switch is also disabled, so that shouldn't be interfering with split tunneling.

What's strange is that split tunneling worked perfectly with my previous VPN provider. I only had to exclude Steam, and CS2 traffic would bypass the VPN without any issues.

I’ve used Foto app (fotoapp[.]co) for a year or so without problem, until earlier this week. Now the app (v0.11.3 on iOS 27) just gives a “failed to load” error instead of showing photos. It won’t even show those in my own gallery. I’ve tried various servers, wireguard and stealth modes, secure core and non-secure core, and none of them work. Any ideas?

I just downloaded Proton VPN. I have been using Brave but my ISP keeps throttling down my usage so I spend a lot of time just trying to access the net so I downloaded Proton. Where do I go next? It says I am connected with Netherlands. Do I just continue to do this with Brave or is there a hidden browser with Proton. I clicked all the links and don’t see any way to find sites

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone else ran into this issue. Since a few days ago ProtonVPN on my Debian machine doesn't connect, and the GUI app simply doesn't boot at all. Trying to start it up does however create a default route, which causes all network traffic to be lost. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and simply creates that default route again (which stays even if ProtonVPN is uninstalled and has to be removed manually). Anyone else who has ran into this problem?

See also the post I made about it on stackexchange before I figured out that proton caused it. Very frustrating to debug!

This is probably all MacOS's fault, but that little menu bar icon showing connection status is so dinky, it's hard to tell at a glance if the VPN connection is active or not.

I keep the Proton app window on display, but it often gets covered up by browser windows or other things.

Is there another more obvious way to show connection status on MacOS machines? Maybe have the dock icon change color?

Are there any other US servers that work in China now that CO#49 is in a maintenance break?

After the first run, when I try to run the gui a 2nd time, I get:

``` error: app/com.protonpvn.www/x86_64/master not installed

```

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and get the same. Do you know what this is about?

I am following this: How to install Proton VPN on Fedora | Proton VPN, and I find no program named proton-vpn-gnome-desktop. Is there are another name?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking at ProtonVPN and trying to find the lowest price I can get. I know Mullvad is a flat €5/month, so I’m comparing against that.

A few questions:

• What’s the cheapest ProtonVPN plan right now (1-month, 1-year, 2-year)?
• Are there any legit vouchers, promo codes, or discount links?
• Do they run sales (Black Friday, anniversary, etc.), and is it worth waiting for one?
• Is the long-term plan actually cheaper than Mullvad per month, including renewal price?
• Any tips on paying in my local currency or avoiding currency conversion fees?

I’m in the Philippines and mainly want it for router / streaming / privacy / torrenting
