This is the best app ever. now you might think I'm glazing or I might be a child but I have money and do you know what? This was THE BEST subscription I ever would pay for. now the free version doesn't have any ads but it's still great, I just want to be able to improve my speeds by ~400%, and also get the ad blocker that blocks EVERY ad. now you might see some websites that have little errors with err: Name Not resolved but that's just the ad blocker doin its thang😆! and you should use this!😁

Been using Proton for quite some time now, and it IS a 5 star service. However the app doesn't always seem to work properly for my Google Pixel 7 Pro. Automatic connection sometimes doesn't work, and other times I'll be disconnected and cannot reconnect until I restart my phone. For some reason it just attempts connection indefinitely. This issue is completely random and is not triggered by anything in particular.

That doesn’t sound right. Could you share some more details about the issue? Are you receiving any error messages? Have you tried switching protocols? Are you using any other VPNs on the same device? Are you using any firewall or antivirus? Contact us through the 'Report an issue' option in the app menu so we can help you troubleshoot.

Unreliable connectivity. No error message, just stuck at trying to connect. Tried connecting to the Canada server too. Switched protocols and currently set to auto. No other VPN is being used. No firewall or antivirus installed. Using an Android device with the latest version. Working fine on iPad OS. Tried reporting issue but sending button on mobile app keeps on spinning.
