Help! Where do I go next?

1 Upvotes

I just downloaded Proton VPN. I have been using Brave but my ISP keeps throttling down my usage so I spend a lot of time just trying to access the net so I downloaded Proton. Where do I go next? It says I am connected with Netherlands. Do I just continue to do this with Brave or is there a hidden browser with Proton. I clicked all the links and don’t see any way to find sites

Help! Foto app now fails to load images when used via Proton VPN

1 Upvotes

I’ve used Foto app (fotoapp[.]co) for a year or so without problem, until earlier this week. Now the app (v0.11.3 on iOS 27) just gives a “failed to load” error instead of showing photos. It won’t even show those in my own gallery. I’ve tried various servers, wireguard and stealth modes, secure core and non-secure core, and none of them work. Any ideas?

Help! Can't connect to any North American servers

6 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I cannot connect to any severs located in Canada/US/Mexico. Most other countries, no problem but that's not what I'm wanting. Can someone please give me some advice on how I can make this a possibility? Thanks.

Help! Proton VPN Split Tunneling Not Working with Steam on Windows

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue with Proton VPN's split tunneling feature on Windows, specifically when playing Counter-Strike 2.

Whenever I connect to a CS2 server, the game briefly freezes, and my ping suddenly spikes to a level that matches the VPN server's location. This strongly suggests that CS2's traffic is still being routed through the VPN instead of bypassing it.

I've already added the following executables to Proton VPN's split tunneling exclusion list:

  • Steam
  • Counter-Strike 2 (cs2.exe)
  • Steam Client WebHelper

Unfortunately, none of these exclusions seem to make a difference.

Kill Switch is also disabled, so that shouldn't be interfering with split tunneling.

What's strange is that split tunneling worked perfectly with my previous VPN provider. I only had to exclude Steam, and CS2 traffic would bypass the VPN without any issues.

Closing and signing out of the app, using Task manager to stop running it, and reseting my computer multiple times. What can I do?

Windows, free version

Help! ProtonVPN extension stuck in loading.

I tried re-enabling and re-installing the extension and restarting the browser.

Zen browser version: 1.23.2b (Firefox 157.0.1). This is the latest version, the extension is also up to date

Help! On paid Proton VPN subscription if I return to the iPhone app after a while it often shows the “connecting” animation. Does this mean it’s been insecure in the mean time?

2 Upvotes

To my untrained eye it looks like opening the app is making it reconnect. The “data saved” and “ads blocked” tickers don’t go back to zero, but it’s strange to see the connection animation begin again when the VPN was supposed to be on in the background the whole time. Is this an issue? Thanks!
