## Reviews

### "Review - ProtonVPN" — 5.0/5

> **Disha** | *May 31, 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Some features that are great about ProtonVPN are: 1. When you are trying to access quality content on streaming sites, which may or may not be available in certain demographics, ProtonVPN is ideal to access content on Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, etc. 2. Streaming any form of content is quite easy with this platform. You can also download and upload audio/ video content with relative ease. 3. There is a Free version that allows you to test the software and analyze a few alternatives to see if it is a good fit. You can also purchase the Premium version as well. 4. The download speed is fast and safe. It also promises the security of personal data while using its services. 5. ProtonVPN is a highly well-structured and designed platform with peak optimation of the servers provided.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the aspects of the platform that was not very appealing were:1. It functions well on all devices, although it is priced slightly higher than other VPN companies. It is higher by around 15% of the market prices. However, taking a 2-year plan would work out cheaper but it is quite a long duration for a purchase. 2. Free version offers 3 server options only. 3. It is slightly difficult to have it work on gaming consoles.
> 
> Pretty good experience using ProtonVPN.

Should the encryption key for any subsequent session be compromised, data remains protected because the VPN protocol only honors encryption cipher suites with Perfect Forward Secrecy.\n  \nTo protect its users from network-based attacks, ProtonVPN relies on a secure core architecture that routes all traffic through multiple servers before leaving the network. All secure core servers are operated in their own networks and are located in robust data centers in Iceland, Sweden, or Switzerland. NetShield ad blocker is a DNS filtering feature that blocks malware, website trackers, and ads.\n  \nIf users lose the connection to the VPN server, the IP address still remains protected thanks to the kill switch function. All ProtonVPN servers are secured with full disk encryption, so data cannot be accessed even in the event of resource-intensive attacks. Built-in Tor support allows users to route their traffic through the Tor anonymity network to access relevant websites.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/bc8d4abd-7de0-433e-a391-b3ddaaef143b.jpeg","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2055629/protonvpn","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2055629/protonvpn#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.5,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":44},"offers":{"price":"6.99","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Chrome, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"VPN Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1219/vpn/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Proton VPN","position":3,"item":"/software/2055629/protonvpn","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2055629/protonvpn#breadcrumblist"}]}
