I pay for proton. I use it on mobile, laptop, and desktop. Its quite seamless and unobtrusive. I like a vpn that allows me to forget im using a VPN
I tried Proton for a month for I'd get A LOT of "confirm you're not a robot" when entering a lot of websites. Was really annoying. Did you ever get around that?
That's almost always caused by one of your nodes' IPs being logged doing sketchy stuff. Try picking a different route.
I often do forget I'm on the VPN and I can't figure out why I can't chromecast music to my speakers.
