Proton VPN: Fast & Secure - Latest Quality Issues
Android

Bit slow to load up on Linux mint otherwise no complaints with the free setup.

As a VPN, yeah it's good and with a paid subscription (would be nicer to pay monthly) you get some other good stuff. HOWEVER: Android v5.3.15.3 seems to have killed mode of the greatness. Sure it's nice and fast if you only want to connect to the country you happen to be in. Secure core though doesn't appear to work at all and all my profiles have gone - no, I've looked, they're not in the new place, they've gone. Split tunneling/secure core is an essential though and I can't see how to use it

With the new update sometimes connecting to a server takes ages and sometimes it doesn't even connect at all. I've been using the app for almost 4 years now and it has gone from the best to the worst.

Can only speak for the free version. +1* because it works in China. -3* because it can't connect/remain connected most of the time. Edit: adding two more stars since suggested fix seems to be working.

Time to find a new free option. This one is broken (PC still fine?). All the automatically selected options I have tried for days have not worked. No matter how many times I change server. Previously, I was able to manually swap through servers in search of ones that worked, and as a free user, I was very willing to do so. But now it simply does not work. It doesn't give me an error even, it just shows "Connected" but the connection stalls after 2 seconds and hovers between 0kbps and 2kbps.
