Pros

Proton VPN et très rapide d'utilisation après la premier connexion en moins de 1 min le VPN et activer.

Cons

Le seul inconvénient de Proton VPN et qu'il faut payé pour avoir des fonctionnalité premium ce qui et pas possible pour tout le monde car certaine personne ne peuvent pas payé par internet

### "ProtonVPN"

October 2, 2023

4.0

Pros

ProtonVPN : Le leader des protecteurs de sécurité en ligne. J’aime ce vpn et je l’apprécie depuis des mois que je l’utilise. Non seulement il a un haut débit, protège la vie privée des utilisateurs, mais aussi il élimine les barrières de la censure et rend tout site web accessible

Cons

Ce que je n’ai pas trop apprécié est le nombre très restreint de position ou IP disponible pour la version gratuite sinon je pense que tout est ok pour le moment pour celui qui utilise le premium.

### "A privacy-centered free VPN for small needs"

December 21, 2022

5.0

Pros

ProtonVPN offers a free plan and, different from some competitors, they apply the same privacy policy from the premium plans.On this plan only two to three countries can be selected, but it is enough for small needs, such as checking a site from a different route.

Cons

For premium plans they do not charge on local currency so, as I am Brazil-based, would had to pay using euros instead of a fixed price in Brazilians Reais.

### "High security vpn"

September 6, 2023

4.0

I use both atlas and proton VPN for my work. The proton VPN provides more secure and encrypted system. While atlas provides faster connectivity.

Pros

It's high level encryption and security is top notch. The user interface is appealing in mobile platforms without any cluster of features. It also provides many locations with high internet speed.

Cons

Although it provides any locations it provides only few for the free trial and occasionally has internet issues even with upgradation.

### "Migliorabile"

October 28, 2023

2.0

Premessa che ho utilizzato al versione gratuita, è un qualcosa di utile se si vuole avvicinarsi al'utilizzo di una VPN senza dover pagare costi mensili ad un provider.

Pros

Permette gratuitamente di utilizzare una VPN, agganciandosi a server anche in diversi continenti, senza limiti di tempo o periodi di prova. L'interfaccia è molto comoda da utilizzare (basta selezionare il paese ed uno dei server in esso disponibili). Decisamente ben fatta è poi la schermata per poter visualizzare real time la mappa di instradamento della connessione tra la propria posizione ed il server selezionato.

Cons

I server, perlomeno con la versione gratuita, sono pochi e spesso la connettività è lenta, si blocca o cade.

### "Muy buen vpn"

February 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

El diseño es bastante bonito y moderno, con un mapa del mundo con los servidores de los que dispones. Es muy agradable de ver y fácil de usar.

Cons

Es poco intuitivo el tema de los servidores en los países, cuando vas un país puedes tener una lista enorme y no aparece por ejemplo la latencia, que me explicaron que es muy importante.
