default non VPN speedtest


fastest country profile


max security profile


best p2p profile


gaming profile


I have been using Mullvad VPN sparsely for the last couple of years now ,since i wanted a VPN which has high privacy records .While going thought playstore on my dad's phone i saw proton vpn offering a trial of 1 month for just 99rs ,which is way lower than monthly plan ,so i took it.

i mainly use VPN for p2p download and uploads ,which this VPN works great for !
but idk why my uploads drop to 5mbps every time i do a speedtest ,i need to check if this happens while p2p uploads as well

side note : UI
eh it just works i guess ,nothing spectacular or anything.

PROs
1.a lot of options ,be it security ,servers ,profiles. Pretty much something for everyone
2.Mumbai based virtual servers ,good pings and speed on those
3.split tunneling works well

CONs i noticed
1. for whatever reason whenever i select fastest country during evening or night time ,it would connect me to pakistani servers
which is a mega facepalm imo
2. the desktop app says 13000+ servers but the iOS app says 1300 servers ? not sure if the trial is causing this decrease in server list

Would i buy proton vpn yearly plan ?
for now its a big maybe because of the slow upload speeds but overall its a good option for me
 
Your speed tests don't make sense. Did you manually select a server?
Can you check if Indian Government services/websites work using their Indian servers?
 
No it was auto selected

And I’ll do check popular govt websites and update also do you want me to connect to indian servers when connecting to govt websites?
