It seems recently that more and more websites are not working when I’m connected by ProtonVPN: Google, Reddit, many sites that require login. I was searching hotels on Expedia and results wouldn’t load while I was connected, but no problem after disconnecting. I’ve tried various servers in various places with all the same issues. It’s the same with or without Net Shield.
I’ve noticed exactly the same thing recently. It’s really annoying when trying to get work done. I’d say I’ve had to disconnect and reconnect to a different server at least a half dozen times a day.
I’ve been seeing similar issues on my iPhone and iPad
I had teh same thing and posted here. But it always seems to be a temporary problem. Try switching protocols.
Can you provide us with some links to the exact webpages you’re having trouble accessing?
Also, which specific servers have you experienced these issues with?
Are you receiving any error messages?
What browser are you using?
Reach out to us at https://protonvpn.com/support-form with some answers to the above questions so we can investigate and assist you further. Meanwhile, try using your browser in private/incognito mode to see how it goes.
After lots of trial-and-error, I would guess the blockage is when using Wireguard protocol. Generally, I used “Smart”, figuring the app would connect me to the best server using the best protocol. Not sure how it decides. But I started just connecting with OpenVPN and those problems have not re-occurred.
Try SecureCore or connect to foreign servers.
The issue isn’t whether Reddit requires sign in for a user connected by VPN. I can’t login if I am connected by ProtonVPN. I have to disconnect, login, then reconnect.
Many websites. Google Maps, Expedia, several hotel pages. Many servers. I don’t find any where I don’t experience this. I generally use Chrome. I’ve already chatted via your chat support.
I can also add that the Salesforce plugin in MS Outlook won’t work when connected by ProtonVPN but works normally when not connected.
Add voice.google.com . Messages and call history frequently won’t load when connected by ProtonVPN. I have to disconnect, loads, reconnect, usable.
I get similar problems regardless of which country server I log into.
I found domestic servers have too many CAPTCHAs when using Google search or visiting social media sites like Discord. After I connected to foreign servers, there were fewer such problems.
It’s random, but increasingly difficult.
Frequently, I can’t even get Google Maps to open, when connected by ProtonVPN.
That’s weird. Maybe there are conflicts with other software, and you have some system settings that prevent Proton VPN from working normally.
By the way, I have downgraded to the free version. It is not convenient to connect to foreign servers for daily work.
