Hey everyone! 👋
We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, and with spring in full swing, we wanted to share a few recent Proton VPN updates that we think you’ll appreciate. These aren’t flashy new features — just thoughtful improvements to make your online life smoother, safer, and more efficient.
🛡️ NetShield is now even better at blocking phishing sites
Worried about accidentally clicking a sketchy link? We’ve expanded the list of known phishing domains NetShield blocks — so now it stops more bad stuff before it even has a chance to load. Just turn on NetShield in the app, and you’re good to go.
🔋 Battery life improvements for mobile users
We’ve improved how Proton VPN runs in the background on both Android and iOS. If you’re on the move using a cellular connection, the app will now let your phone rest more when idle, meaning less power drain and longer battery life.
Some quick tips for even better battery life:
-
Use WiFi when you can (uses less power than mobile data)
-
Switch to WireGuard (lightweight and battery-friendly)
-
Don’t stress about using lots of data — that barely affects battery usage
⚡ Faster browsing when conditions aren’t perfect
Proton VPN has always been fast, but now it’s smarter too. If your connection is being slowed down due to certain network quirks, the app can detect and automatically fix it in real-time so you get the fastest connection speed available. No manual tweaking needed.
We know “invisible” updates aren’t as exciting as shiny new features, but these kinds of tweaks make a huge difference day-to-day — and they’re all part of our mission to keep improving the VPN experience.
Let us know how these updates are working for you, or if you’ve noticed a difference!
As always, thanks for being part of the Proton community 💜
Stay safe,
Proton Team
This was the original comment. You went out of your way to downplay Proton’s regime whore’s commentary and bootlicking of trump admin. You then proceed to imply that because it is “run by scientists.” as some sort of: trust me bro, these are the good guys.
I highlighted that you are invoking their marketing materials and it is not relevant to how “honest/good” they are. Then it devolved in whatever this is.
Bottom line, this is a profit seeking parasite and people should treat it as such along with the rest of them. Use/pay them for the service but these people are not your fucking friends, never were, never will be. A corpo is not a person, it is a mechanism for owner class to generate wealth and limit liability for any misconduct that happens when they get too greedy.
In general we agree. But your black and white interpretation, causing you to shit on even those doing the best anyone could expect, is infantile bordering on comical.
Are you talking proton? If so, that was true prior Andy’s bootlicking. Now proton is going to be treated with the rest of them. It is pretty obvious Andy does not understand his core user base imho
I’m done. This is dumb
