Its limitations are easy to live with. Unless you pay for a Proton VPN subscription, you can access servers only in Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and the US. That shouldn’t be an issue for US-based users, because you’re likely to get better performance by connecting to the nearest server. Multi-hop connections, a feature that routes your web traffic through two VPN servers to ensure that your data is secure even if one server has been compromised, are also limited to paid subscriptions. Multi-hop is a good tool but likely overkill for most people, and it greatly degrades web browsing. Proton VPN additionally limits free subscribers to just one simultaneous connection per account. That means you can use only one device at a time, which is easy enough to manage.
