## Review summary

Overall, Proton VPN is praised for strong privacy and security and a usable free tier that beats some alternatives. However, many reviews focus on significant usability issues: frequent connection drops and traffic blocking, apps interference (texts, browsers, logins), sign-in/auth errors, update-related server reductions, and regional restrictions (China/Russia). These recurring problems harm everyday use, despite positive notes about security and the free option. If you can tolerate occasional outages or regional limits, it remains a solid privacy-centric VPN choice.

### Pros

- Strong privacy and security reputation.
- Free version is actually usable and praised by users.
- Often considered better than some competitors (e.g., Cloudflare Warp) in privacy and reliability.

### Cons

- Frequent connection problems and traffic blocking.
- Interference with other apps, including blocking texts or preventing browser use.
- Sign-in/authentication issues.
- Server availability degraded after updates; reduced server count.
- Regional restrictions (China login restriction; not working in Russia).
