Probably. I’ve noticed more servers added in new countries and new servers added in Canada in the last couple months


I have a paid Proton account. I feel like part of what I’m paying for is to not see the word gugal, so I’d be unhappy if I did




IKEv2, I think. I’m not super familiar with this stuff though


Thanks for your suggestions!! I currently use the Duck Duck Go extension with Firefox



Thanks for your response! My version info is below. I sent an email to Proton support around the time I made this post. (This is speculation, but given how many upvotes the post has in a low-traffic community, maybe I’m not the only one experiencing this.) I will share here what I learn from Proton support
Mac OS 11.3.1.
Proton VPN 3.3.4


Proton VPN - No longer blocking malware, ads, and trackers? [FIXED]
[Edit: With guidance from Proton Support, I switched VPN protocols in the application's preferences menu (https://protonvpn.com/support/how-to-change-vpn-protocols/), from IKEv2 to Smart, and afterwards I started seeing ads and trackers (etc.) blocked on the application's GUI again. I'll post any other relevant info I learn of here.] Original post: cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/9468390 > I use Proton VPN. I have a paid account. I like to use the NetShield feature to block malware, ads, and trackers. Typically, when I view ad- and tracker-bloated websites, Proton VPN records how many ads and trackers it's blocked during my current VPN session. > > About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that despite NetShield being on with the above settings, it no longer appeared to be blocking any ads or trackers per the print out on the GUI. I updated the program, and it's now up-to-date, but that hasn't fixed my issue. > > Is anyone else experiencing this? What's going on, has Proton VPN stopped blocking those things or is the print out not working?
